The Finder isn't supposed to strip /dev/ away, is it? However you're returning the BSD name from the file system, you're probably not supposed to be prepending the "/dev/" in the first place. (Just a guess based on what PBHGetVolParmsSync is supposed to return.)

The other problem I'm having also has to do with Finder - the icon

which is shown for my volume is the same as the one shown for network

volumes. How does Finder determine what icon it should show for a

volume?

When I want to lookup volumes by BSD Name with Carbon on X, I use these two functions: FSGetVolumeInfo (to walk the volume list.) PBHGetVolParmsSync (to get the GetVolParmsInfoBuffer.vmDeviceID) vmDeviceID must be the name of the raw device node itself as it appears as the "BSD Name" property of a IOMedia node. It must not contain "/dev/". It doesn't look like the Finder uses PBHGetVolParmsSync, so I'm not sure how it's doing that, but I think that if you return the correct values so that they show up properly from Carbon, your problem might go away. --Steve _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
