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. 1) What is this phantom directory ? 2) How do I solve my problem and avoid this in the field ?
