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.

That is all DiskArb at work. The Finder noticed a mount point and registered it with DiskArb.

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

You can only do that with the URLManager, but that is not a public framework yet (as of Jag, don't know about Panther). HTH.
