So I'm looking for a way to find the volume name from the device node, much the way diskutil does. That way I can find the disk node that correlates to the desired volume. I was thinking the IOKit might provide some help, but cannot seem to find anything concrete. I've heard that this is difficult, but any help would be much appreciated.


Check out

You can use DADiskCreateFromBSDName() to get a DADiskRef, then you can look at the results of DADiskCopyDescription(), where I believe you'll find the volume name (amongst other things).

Kind regards,

Alastair.
