How does the Finder decide that two drives are on the same partition?

When I make two "local" disks via MacFuse and I try to eject one of them the Finder insists on warning me that there are two drives on the same partition, and giving me the option to unmount all of them or just the one I tried to. This is very inconvenient for me.

The mount command shows:


MyFS@fuse0 on /Volumes/MyFS_2Gig (...)
MyFS@fuse1 on /Volumes/MyFS_4Gig (...)

My suspicion is that the Finder just looks for the mountFrom value then calls volumes partitions on the same disk if they only vary in the last number.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
