Folks.
I am seeing a strange behaviour sometimes when mounting afp network
volumes on an Intel iMac.
Essentially the OS is creating more than one /Volumes representation
for the drive, depending on what steps have occurred, and its
creating a persistent entry in /Volumes which I can't 'unmount'
Yes, it's probably a real directory. So it can't be unmounted. These
are commonly referred to ass mountpoints. They are normally
automagically created and destroyed when the OS mounts a volume.
Sometimes you'll lose a mount and a mountpoint won't be destroyed.
You'll have to rm it manually.
So, I have 2 questions:
1) What is this phantom directory ?
A directory. The directory used as the mountpoint in the fileysystem.
2) How do I solve my problem and avoid this in the field ?
Remove rogoue mountpoints.
