<x-man-page://8/diskutil> might be a good starting point.
I looked at the man page, but I found nothing useful there. Let me
explain more ...
For example:
1. I have an HD partition named "Roger" mounted on my desktop;
2. I have a file "Cynthia.sparsebundle" which when opened mounts a
disk named "Roger" on my desktop; and
3. I know that the mount point for the sparsebundle disk is "/dev/
disk1". (do shell script "hdiutil info")
Now, I need to AppleScript the Finder to write to the disk "Roger".
No, not that disk "Roger", the other one whose mount point = "/dev/
disk1".
Knowing the name of the sparsebundle disk does not help.
I need to convert the string "/dev/disk1" to an alias to the
sparsebundle disk.
VOL=`diskutil info /dev/disk1 | grep 'Volume Name:' | tr -d ' ' | cut -
d : -f2`
ioreg -l | grep image-path | grep $VOL
might be a good starting point…
