Mount / unmount external drive for Backup use
Authored by: ctierney on Mar 16, '07 08:30:11AM
Thanks for the hint. I've recently been experimenting with dismounting drives from shell scripts. Here's another method of getting the device name using the volume name:
mount | sed -ne "s#^([^ t]{1,}).*your hard drive name[ t].*#1#p"
