What is the Issue?

I backed up my Mac with CCC. To secure my data, I had multiple backups. Say I had one inner SSD and one external SSD and one external hard disk. When booting from backups, it was hard to choose which one was the one I wanted to boot.

As you can see, both external disks were shown as "iMacHD" with the same icon.

However, when in previous menu, the disks were shown as names, which were easy to identify.

So it is better to always use disk name instead.

File issue against OpenCorePkg

I had already read your reply and tested in my own. Then I carefully filed this as another bug. The reason I chose to file this issue here was that clearly using disk labels here were not wrong, but inappropriate. Both disk names and disk labels could be use here. But using disk names were more suitable. So for me, I thought it was better to choose disk name instead of disk labels. And this could be done with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, instead of OpenCorePkg. That was my opinion.

Our back end is OpenCorePkg. Have an issue with disk presentation, file against OpenCorePkg

Additionally please don't open new issues just because an old one was closed. This creates fragmentation amongst issues making it much more difficult to manage, continue conversation in the original issue next time

I filed a new issue because I thought it was proper. In the first issue, I thought this was a bug. However, after tested with your reply, I realized that it was not a bug. If I tested it was a bug. I would file a new issue in OpenCorePkg.

Though it was not a bug. But it was inappropriate to use disk labels. So I filed the second issue. I was not an expert this patcher. But in a common sense of developer. I thought this patcher chose which to show and OpenCorePkg provided both disk names and disk labels. So I decided to filed the new issue here.

I did don't like that your closing the issue too quick. It just like someone was trying to communicate with your and you suddenly shutdown the door in front of one's face.
