Quicker mounting of external Firewire drives
Authored by: squixel on Sep 10, '03 10:13:07AM

I just got me an external firewire drive, which is too noisy for me too, and now found out, how to mount it with macosX terminal-
just type in 'disktool' - with '-l' you get a list of all mounted drives with their names- so when you know the name of your drive you can unmount(drag on paperback etc) it and later mount it with 'disktool -m diskname' - just 'disktool' gives you a list of all commands.
