Two days a go the volume Xsan disappeared from desktop, In Xsan admin show volume mounted, in system preferences/xsan the volume Xsan is mounted, but in desktop and folder /Volumes/ the volume xsan not appear.

 

But with console I can see it in folder /Volumes/

 

fccmxsan01:~ admin$ ls -lh /volumes

drwxr-xr-x@ 29 root  wheel   1.0K Dec 12 13:08 Maverics

drwxr-xr-x@ 38 root  wheel   1.3K Dec 12 13:08 MountainLion

drwxrwxr-x@ 63 root  wheel   6.0K Dec 11 14:17 Xsan

    The volume probably is hidden from the GUI. You can see the flags and see if the hidden flag is set with:

     

    ls -lOd /Volumes/Xsan

     

    If it's hidden, it would look like this example file:

    $ ls -lOd /tmp/a_hidden_file
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 claudio  wheel  hidden 0 Dec 16 18:02 /tmp/a_hidden_file

     

    You can unhide a hidden file with chflags(1). For example:

     

    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Xsan
