On current versions of OS X non-server, directly attached external drives are only mounted at /Volumes when there is a user logged in. Very early in OS X this was not the case; Apple changed it around 10.2 or 10.3 IIRC. On OS X Server, this is not the case; all volumes stay available (depending of course on their permission matrix) when there is no user session. A solution was discovered way back in 2003 on macosxhints; I don't know if it works in Lion but a comment in the thread confirms it working in 10.6 : http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20031103155828117_______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
