Good question but hard to answer :-)

tell application "Finder"
eject disk "nourish"
end tell

will work, but

tell application "System Events"
eject disk "nourish"
end tell

will not even compile. This is why we probably should trust Finder. However, if you run

do shell script "diskutil info /Volumes/nourish | grep Ejectable"

you will notice that diskutil treat the disk as not ejectable. I definitely trust diskutil more than Finder... until now, because

do shell script "diskutil eject /Volumes/nourish"

wil eject the disk.

Hi,

Today when I tried this script:

tell application "System Events"
	set x to ejectable of disk "nourish"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
	set y to ejectable of disk "nourish"
end tell
{x, y}
-- {false, true}

The disk "nourish" is a firewire harddisk, with only one partition. So, who is right in this situation, my disk is ejectable or not?


TIA bill
