[PLUG] Xubuntu phantom volumes

[Tomas Kuchta]

I would not go around deleting Volume directories without creating them
yourself directly or by mistake.

Volume name is usually used for storage, so it could be your /home or other
directory you are about to delete.

Check the output of df yourVolumeDir to find out where it is mounted from.

Hope that helps,
Tomas
