Naming Disks and Clone Drives

[dnanian]

Well, you can see if it makes a difference for you, actually. It might not, especially if you hold down Shift when you boot, because any applications that have this problem wouldn't run, and as long as the original volume is named properly, you'll be OK.

Again, the main issue here is applications that store aliases that might resolve to the original drive. If the original drive isn't there, it's not a problem, because the aliases will "fix themselves" if they can't find the original file.

But -- if the applications that make reference this way don't start, the aliases don't try to resolve, and the problems don't occur. See what I mean?
