Hard disk partition name

  • Subject: Hard disk partition name
  • From: Gideon King <email@hidden>

I am doing some work where I need to call Applescript from Cocoa, and as part of that, I need to tell it to open a file using the old style syntax "Macintosh HD:Users:fred:file.ext". Now I can get the user's home directory by calling NSHomeDirectory(), but that doesn't include the partition name (in this case "Macintosh HD").

How do I get the name of the partition so I can tell AppleScript the right thing? Are there any gotchas for network mounted directories etc?

Thanks

Gideon
