Title: Two AFP mounted volumes with the same name
I have a script where there could be potentially two AFP mounted volumes with the same name on a user’s desktop, but they were mounted from different servers with different IP addresses. Both volumes are called “UserMailboxes”. The Finder seems capable of differentiating the two volumes without a problem.

If I make an alias out of variables that resolves to “UserMailboxes:testfolder” how do I know which one of the two mounted volumes called “UserMailboxes” I’m going to get? There is the potential that a folder with the same name exists on both volumes. Is there a higher level way of pointing to a specific mounted volume by IP address when both mounted volumes have the same name?

Thanks.
Jim
