property volName : "Never Never Land"
property theSwitch : "-e"
set mountData to do shell script "/sbin/mount"
if volName is in mountData then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
repeat with i in mountData's text items
if volName is in i then set devName to i
end repeat
set devName to word 2 of devName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""

0"
end if
Put your disk name in volName.
