   The problem is always striking.
   37 mn ago, New volume mounted : Drive name : Recovery HD
   37mn ago, Drive unmounted : Drive name : Recovery HD
   5 mn ago, New volume mounted : Drive name : Recovery HD
   5mn ago, Drive unmounted : Drive name : Recovery HD

   It's so boring that I choose to quit Drive.

   Good news.

   I wish to add that the problem is not the fact that your app issue alerts about Recovery HD, it's that there is no reason to try to mount such partition.
   The only thing making sense would be to give the user the ability to manually mount/unmount such partition.
   A feature would be very useful : No longer build menu items with the name of the recovery partition, build them with the name of the physical device & the name of the partition.
   To be more clear I give an example.
   As a beta tester I have several HD mounted and each one has it's own recovery partition.

   At this time, the menu display:
   Recovery HD
   Recovery HD
   Recovery HD
   …
   which is not usable because nothing telss to which physical devise such partition belong.

   What would be usable is :

   Macintosh HD/Recovery HD
   SSD 500/Recovery HD
   El Capitan 11.1/Recovery HD
   …

   Attached is a screenshot showing what is displayed when I trigger the small button on the right of Recovery HD menu items.
   At first thought, I assumed that they were shortcuts but it would be odd, there is no such button on the keyboards. The only resembling one - the eject one - is pointing to the top, not to the bottom.

   I hope that you will be fair enough to give us such feature which, I guess, would not be complicated to build because I'm sure that when your app decide to build such menu item it already know the name of the device.

   *Please* release this update soon - I don't want to turn off notifications, but the Recovery HD stuff is really annoying!

   For me the problem no longer exists.
   The drive.app file is no longer available on my iMac
