Somehow a coworker's Mac hard drive was renamed with over 250 characters. Too many to show in the Finder, though I did take a photo of the name while booting up in command line. its mostly 'h's and 'n's and 'g's. I just keep losing count of how many, since it wraps to 2 lines, and it numbs my brain to try. Is there a wildcard way to rename the boot volume? I have actually booted with an external backup, but the renamed drive just hangs up Disk Utility and Disk Warrior and any attempts to access the drive end in failure.
I haven't found this problem anywhere else, I figured ghost cats must have stepped on the enter key and then renamed files and hard drives before, but I guess they always stop after a few characters.
So can anyone help? Thank you!
