Manual mount external drives in target disk mode
Authored by: sjonke on Jul 19, '05 09:45:11AM

Can't you just Get Info on the mounted volume and uncheck "Ignore ownership on this volume"? Or does this not do the same thing?

Yes, unchecking the "Ignore ownership on this volume" is the simplest and fastest way to accomplish the same thing.

Wow, I wouldn't have expected it to be exposed in the UI (much less in something as obvious as Get Info.) I was looking for options to mount, mount_hfs, etc.

Or, for the GUI impaired:

# vsdbutil -a /Volumes/DiskName

Thanks, that's good to know. (And now, I see there's already a hint for it and everything... oh well.)
