What is your HD's name ?
How do you name your HD (or partitions) on the desktop ?
I intend to name my HD's paritions like this :
Moloch
Baal
Azazel
Amon-Ra (my favorite egyptian God)
Leviathan
Quetzalcatl
Krolnaktu
Or maybe like this :
Andromede (Andromeda, in English)
Orion
Betelgeuse
Vega
Voie-Lactee (Milky way)
Pleiades

Main: Overdrive
Primary Firewire: Overfire
Secondary Firewire: Overarchive
The various drives that get swapped in and out of a Firewire enclosure have more down-to-earth names, such as Pre-Jaguar Backup, Pre-9.2.2 Backup, Monthly Backup, and so on.
And my computer is named Overcube...
"Rhoq Solid Ent"
aaaaand.... moving to General Discussion.
Application/document partition: Lithium
Backup HD: Backup
I'm a wildcat.
Moloch and Baal are old paian gods from the middle est, historian are still debating about their origine. Some are saying they are from the jewish tradition, others are saying they are babylonian. Baal may be Moloch in another language.
The egyptian Gods are great ! Especially Horus, Nout, Anubis, Bastet and Amon-Ra. I hate Sobek (ugly with his crocrodile head) !
I like Indian Gods too, especialy Shiva (father of Ganesh and Kali) and Visnu (or Vishnou).
Shiva Nataraja and Shiva Maeshvara are the greatest. Shiva Nataraja is the one dancing with a flame in a hand, crushing Maya, the god of illusions (not related to the mezo-amerindians).
I like the Maya's pricipal God : Quatzelcatl (I think this one is from the Aztecs), and many peruvian gods (pachamama).
Krolnaktu is the most mysterious, hidden god of all. He's the creator of the "basement" (space-time ?) under all gods, including himself !

I have two simply because my Mac has two hard drives. Ironically, Mario is actually the skinny one - Mario is 36GB and Luigi 60GB. My Nintendo icons came from Joshua Jones, aka. MindFad at MacNN. I think he put a copy of them up at xicons.macnn.com.
"Macintosh HD" (Files and Backup)
"G4 HD" (System HD)
2.3GB HD from StarMax 4000
"StarMax HD" (never use it)
External FW 60GB HD
"The WareHouse" (files, movies, games, anything)
RedHat box: "Tuxis" (soon to be web/mail server)
Win 2K Advanced Server box: "The Can" (former web/mail server that crapped out)
SGI Indigo: "Eva-01" (it's purple)
Now for the Macs
iBook:
Puchiko (it's so cute!)
Graphite iMac DV SE: (current web/email server)
Gendou
Dual 500 PowerMac G4:
Spike - system
Ed - applications
Faye - video scratch
Jet - firewire video scratch
and my Firewire drive is Eric's HD
One partition for OS X and Apple apps,
another one for all documents (no apps)
a third one for the swap file, photoshop scratch, temporary files, app testing,
and a fourth partition for all my non-Apple apps.
After all I have read on the net, this is the best HD setup for OS X (whatever others are saying here). Unix servers are very often configured this way. Best would be a separate HD on another bus for the swap file.
This is also why OS X should be stripped down a bit. I'll remove all language and printers def to save about 500 MB on the first partition (yes, 500 MB is still alot of disk space !).
There's an app on the net to remove the langage files, it's not for nothing if it exist.
I may also name my four partitions like this :
Real,
Complex,
Quaternion,
Octonion.
This may give a clue of what I'm doing in real life.
