Mounted disks in OSX

Hi all!

I am new to the mac - running disktool -l shows me some information I don't quite undestand:

1. ***Disk Appeared ('disk1s1',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
2. ***Disk Appeared ('disk1s2',Mountpoint = '/Users/Jacob', fsType = 'hfs', volName = 'Jacob')
3. ***Disk Appeared ('disk1',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
4. ***Disk Appeared ('disk0',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
5. ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s1',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
6. ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s2',Mountpoint = '/', fsType = 'hfs', volName = 'Jacob's HD')

Line 4 i guess is the harddrive, line 5 I don't get? Is that partition one of disk 1? And what does that contain? Line 6 i guess is the main volume of the harddrive and contains all of my data.

Now for disk 1 that one might think is the CD-ROM drive? But if that is correct then why is it mounted in /users/Jacob (my home folder) when it should be in /Volumes? And how can the fsType be hfs when no CD is in the drive?

Regards,

Jacob

This may be caused if you have FileVault enabled, which stores information in a locked image file.
 
You're right! I am using FileVault! So that is what disk1 is... Thanks a lot!

What is the s1 partition that both disk1 and disk0 has? It isn't mounted anywhere and fstype is nothing?
