Unless you turn off autodiskmounting. Unsure how to do it right now. Just "kill -9 diskarbitrationd"? Boot into single user mode? Then you can use "mount" to do a BSD-level only mount, "hdid -nomount" to get it automounted but without Finder notification, or "hdituil" to simulate popping it in again. Perhaps you have even a chance to do a "dd if=/dev/disk3 of=some_other_file_name" to get the disk backed up somewhere in case you don't manage it to use Apple Software Restore to do a copy. Having a copy will help Apple engineers a lot to construct a reproducible test case. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
