Simon,
Now you see my problem. I normally use either a HD Toolkit or SCSI probe,
neither of which are scriptable. The 'mount volume' command is in Standard
Additions without any mention of being for use ONLY on a network.
At present we are using a partition on the d2 drive but we will soon be
re-formatting it into a single partition. I would still have the problem of
mounting the drive rather than a partition.
If you can suggest any 3rd party solutions I'll give them the once over.
I take it from your email that you're into Lasso as well?
I'm coming into this thread late, so excuse me if I've missed
something or don't understand the problem.
If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to overcome your problem
with an alias to the drive in question. It's worth a try anywho.
Mount the drive and create an alias to it and then unmount the
drive. Use the alias in whatever fashion you wish (scripted,
double-click, etc.) to bring the drive back online. I haven't done
much with this, but it just worked on a partition. <shrug>
Further testing has revealed that you might be able to do this
without creating an alias (Finder variety).
-- Example
tell application "Finder"
activate
open alias "Your Drive or Volume:"
end tell
-- End Example
The script will need to be compiled while the disk is mounted or the
alias won't resolve. Again, this was tested only on one of my
partitions, so your results may vary.
