disktool is obsolete
I believe disktool is obsolete. The new preferred tool is "diskutil". I believe it mentions that in the 10.2 tech note:
• Supplemented the "disktool" command line tool (which was always intended as a test tool) with a more user-oriented "diskutil" command line tool. (r. 2817377).
disktool is obsolete
disktool is still available in Jaguar. there may be an alternative, but i prefer using disktool.
diskutil anomaly
when I use diskutil unmount disk2s3 , the Mac unmounts the iPod with no problem, but the iPod still has the flashing "do not disconnect" message on it's screen. Other than that, diskutil works as advertised. anyone know why? or does it matter?
ipod forgotten, but not gone
In reply to the last post, the eject options in disktool or diskutil (either one) will unmount the ipod and detach it from /dev/disk?s?, so you can pull it out of the cradle. I have the 'disktool -e' command in my backup script, and it *usually* works fine. |
