No way to do it with vanilla AS, though, is there?
That *is* vanilla AppleScript. ;)
You're really asking if there's another program besides diskutil
that will do it, aren't you? Ideally the Finder?
I guess that it's a matter of nomenclature. I don't consider shell
scripts to be vanilla Applescript. It's a completely different
scripting language that's called by an Applescript in this case.
