Be careful with that globbing pattern, Eugene: "/*" won't match names
that begin with ".". There may not have been any such items on your
Data volume, but you might want to check it with 'ls -la /Volumes/
Data/Data'.
I mention this because some apps like to put hidden dirs in one's
home folder with names that start with ".". For example, I see
".distcc" and ".subversion" in mine, among others. Even the Apple-
recommended way to preset env-vars uses ".MacOSX" in one's home dir
(which I have). And I mention this in the context of home folders
because one way to use a data partition is to create a symlink in /
Users that points to the data partition as one's home folder.
Also, I see other dot-prefixed files and dirs at the root of my data
partition. Many of these will probably be rebuilt as needed
(Spotlight, temp, trash), but I see a ".VolumeIcon.icns" that
probably holds the custom icon I've assigned to this volume.
