In Linux how do I mount a OS-X partition * by name * that is on the same host?

Question

I once used gnome-mount like this

gnome-mount -o ro -d /dev/sda2 or gnome-mount -o ro -p "Macintosh HD"

But, alas, gnome-mount seems to be no more. RIP.

I can do this

gvfs-mount -d /dev/sda2

(which generates a whole lot of errors but does mount the partition in the /media directory.)

This is a related question: http://superuser.com/questions/131918/gnome-mount-alternative-in-ubuntu-10-04-or-how-to-mount-partition-with-normal-use

But how do you do it by name?

Answer 1

gvfs-mount doesn't seem to have that option. http://www.unix.com/man-page/OpenSolaris/1/gvfs-mount/

Normal mount should be able to do this however.

mount -o ro -L "Macintosh HD" /mountpoint

mount requires you to create the mountpoints first though.
