What I want is to hide existing mounted volumes whose names I don't want to

want them to be selectively invisible from the Desktop and can still be
accessible (e.g. whose contents can be read or modified.)

If you use the nowbrowse option in either mount or hdiutil, it hides them from the finder. It also hides them from things such as open or save dialogs, but you can still access them with filesystem APIs.


You have to plan to do this before the volume is mounted. To my knowledge, there is no way to do this after a volume has been mounted.
