*Subject: *Re: Local and remote disks
Yes, that's how I've currently solved it:
I issue a "df" shell command and parse its output.
Can I retrieve the POSIX path from a Finder object ?
Thank you very much,
Harald

The posix path of a remote volume starts with /Volumes, furthermore
different disks with the same name will have different posix paths, such
as /Volumes/Macintosh HD, /Volumes/Macintosh HD1 etc.
