I want to unmount a volume, one of 2 on a hard drive. I have successfully
unmounted the drive but, of course, this unmounts both volumes:

do shell script "diskutil unmountDisk " & diskDev

How can I unmount just one volume?

I use this to unmount a volume:

do shell script "diskutil umount \"volume name\""

And this to mount a volume:

do shell script "diskutil mount \"volume name\""

As Luther suggested, see the diskutil man page, for more info:

unmount | umount [force] device

Unmount a single volume. Force will force-unmount the volume

(less kind to any open files; see also umount (8)).

mount [readOnly] [-mountPoint path] device

Mount a single volume. If readOnly is specified, then the

file system is mounted read-only, even if the volume's under-

lying file system and/or device and/or media supports writing;

even the super-user may not write to it; this is the same as

the rdonly option to mount (8). If a -mountPoint is speci-

fied, then that path, rather than the standard path of /Vol-

umes/VolumeName, will be used as the view into the volume file

content; a directory at that path must already exist.
