I'd change those to:
case 3: /* extract the volume name */

Then the /* fall through */ would be fine.

The /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment has been valid C syntax (for lint)
for over 40 years.
IMHO since C compilers are now doing all the checks that lint used
to do, it should be using the same syntax.
Both the [[]] and attribute forms look horrid.
