Unnecessary, sending messages to nil does nothing so checking for nil
is just a waste of time here.
m_sources = [volumes stringsByAppendingPaths:[defaultManager
directoryContentsAtPath:volumes]];
You declared m_sources as an NSMutableArray, but your assigning it an
NSArray here. Since an NSMutableArray is a subclass of NSArray and not
the other way around, that is why you are getting the error.
[m_source retain];
note if I do not release / retain m_sources the program crashes with
exec bad access
Correct. If you don't understand why, I recommend reviewing the Cocoa
Memory Management Guidelines at <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/MemoryMgmt.html
