  • Thread-topic: Find server name of mounted volume

I found a solution by coming at things the other way.  Instead of seeing if
the volume is mounted before I try to mount it again I just go ahead and
mount it and look for the error.

I wrapped each of the mount volume commands in a try loop and trapped for
error -55.  If it gets that error the script knows the volume is already
mounted and just moves to the next command.

Many thanks to everyone for the great suggestions.

Tim
