 Mount points during Leopard install
Does anyone know how Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) figures out the mount points for the volumes on the system? I added a new drive and cloned the old boot volume to it and I want it to mount with a different name than what Disk Utility chose for it. The old boot volume was mounted as "/Volumes/Boot" and the new one is currently mounted as "/Volumes/Boot 1" but I want something different and cant figure out how to get the system to do it. I have tried to manually unmount the "/Volumes/Boot 1" and remount it as "/Volumes/MacOSX_10.5" but the installation program does not show it and in fact still shows the old name with nothing there. Basically how does the install program build the list of volumes that it shows you to pick which one to install the new OS onto?? -Bob |

When dive mounts, just single click directly on the name (under the drive icon) and a box will come over the name. This is an edit box to rename the drive.

This is during the install process -- no Finder running only the Installer. Any ideas now? THanks... -Bob |

Just figured it out -- need to use the diskutil command, e.g. in a terminal window do the following diskutil rename /dev/disk8s2 MacOSX_10.5 and it changes the name and remounts it as /Volumes/MacOSX_10.5 I found the diskutil command while looking at http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/.../t-170786.html if you want more info. Also can do a "diskutil list" to see all volumes and the info associated with each... -Bob |
