difference between mount and disktool?
Authored by: zedwards on Sep 20, '02 10:51:39AM

This is interesting, as I have been trying to figure out how os x mounts disks. Does anyone know if this is how mac mounts disks as opposed to disktool? In linux, one would just run "mount -t hfs /dev/hda9 /mnt" trying anything like that in os x gets some errors. I understand that mac mounts disks to "Volumes" and the device name is different (/dev/rdisk0s9).

\Does anybody have any thoughts? Is this a BSD thing?
