Hi Sam,

Something I only just noticed today was that if you navigate to our
mount point in a Finder column view window, clicking on one of our
mounted logical volumes results in an icon for it appearing on the
desktop. The icon is the black globe on a graphite external disk,
just like the one you get for NFS mounts.
So do we really need to publish IOMedia objects in the IORegistry?
The fact that mounting an NFS volume results in the same icon on the
desktop with no change to the IORegistry makes me suspicious.
If your logical mounts are more like network volumes, like a SAN
perhaps, then you wouldn't publish IOMedia objects. But if the logical
volumes are tied to a local (emphasis on local) storage device, like a
directly-attached RAID array, then you would publish them in a filter
scheme driver as discussed in "Writing Drivers for Mass Storage
Devices":

Of course my next question would be how to change the icon we get ;-)

Ultimately, DiskArb has to be involved in mounts that you want Finder
