So, I thought I'd use FileManager to deal with this, by enumerating the volumes and their names. Here's the program I wrote: #include <CoreServices/CoreServices.h> int main(int ac, char **av) { /* compile this with: cc -o test -framework CoreServices test.c */ OSErr err = 0; FSVolumeRefNum actualVolume; FSVolumeInfoBitmap whichInfo; FSVolumeInfo info; HFSUniStr255 volumeName; FSRef rootDirectory; int i; for (i = 1; err != nsvErr; i++) { volumeName.length = 0; err = FSGetVolumeInfo (kFSInvalidVolumeRefNum, i, &actualVolume, kFSVolInfoGettableInfo, &info, &volumeName, &rootDirectory); if (err >= 0) { char buf[512]; CFStringRef strRef = CFStringCreateWithCharacters(NULL, // use default allocator volumeName.unicode, volumeName.length); CFStringGetCString(strRef, buf, sizeof(buf), kCFStringEncodingNonLossyASCII); printf("%d: %s\n", actualVolume, buf); } else if (err != nsvErr) { printf("err %d accessing volume %d\n", err, i); } } } When I run it on my machine, with about 15 NFS-mounted volues on it (according to the "mount" command), it only shows the two actual hard disks on the machine! The FileManager reference is pretty unclear about this; it says "only physical volumes", but discusses AFP and NFS volumes in talking about FSGetVolumeInfo.
