unmounting partitions
Authored by: byronic on Jul 01, '02 10:58:25AM

I have four partitions on a single drive and accidentally unmounted one of them once while playing with my toolbar. I was customizing the toolbar and dragged the eject command to the toolbar as well as each of my partitions and hard drives for easy access from any open folder or volume window. I had a partition window open and hit the toolbar eject thinking it would open the internal drive, but it unmounted the partition. The other partitions were still accessible, and the setting stayed after I logged out and back in again. I had to use disk utility to remount the partition. I just tried this method again with the same results, but once the dock disappeared until I logged in again; I suspect this was due to a utility I installed which puts mounted volumes in the dock.
