I have a Sony MicroVault 128MB, a little USB flash drive I've reformatted for HFS+, the only partition is called "Secure".
The device is removed from my desktop, but I can still see it in /Volumes/ Note however that I can not access the drive, only see the partition's name.
I don't like forcibly dismounting the volume, especially since upon disconnection the Finder gives me a warning that the volume was improperly dismounted.
To properly dismount it using disktool, I have to know its /dev/ allocation. How can I determine this?
