Ok, thanks for expanding on this spifa!

What you can do is rename the volume itself, to a more friendly name. This will be platform wide, however, and not just for the purposes of Perfstack. You can do this by following this process:

Find the device which hosts the volume in question in manage nodes.
Expand the node to view all child resources, by clicking on the arrow to the left of it.
Check the box next to the volume you wish to rename, and click 'Edit Properties' from the menu bar at the top of the table.
In the volume properties page, change name as desired.

In the image below, I changed the name of the C drive on my test domain controller to 'BILBO BAGGINS':

This is then reflected in PerfStack:

Hope this helps! Please do let me know if you need anything further.

Hey spifa

Could you explain a little more as to what it is you're tying to achieve please?

Hi,

Sure thing. Mainly I was gonna make a perf stack report. All volumes are called "Drive letter:\ xxxxxxxx"

I wanted to change it to something else.
