where is my files - dont laugh :-)

I have Mac Mini with OS X server, updated to the latest version, and a bad administrator (me :-)


In server Admin, in File Sharing, i have a few shared

some are folders

some are directly hard drives (3 of them)


except one...

called Transporter,

the path is written as /Volumes/Transporter

but the icon makes me think it is a folder and not the root of a hard drive.

using server App, I can't browse it.


in terminal doing a diskutil list or using Disk Utility

there is no drive, by that name

but in terminal going to /Volumes/Transporter works


from another mac, I can connect to this Transporter Drive/Folder shared

Get info on the drive tell me it is 250 GB with 150 GB free, which is the SSD drive of the mini.

Putting a file with a distinctive name into that shared, and doing a Get-Info on it, the owner name is not the username I connected with, but another one.



Back to the mini,

In spotlight searching for that file, find nothing

but in terminal, doing a

find / -name "theFilename"

i get the whole /Volumes/Transporter/... etc


doing a

sudo sharing -l

I get

name: Transporter

path: /Volumes/Transporter

afp: {

name: Transporter

shared: 1

guest access: 0

inherit perms: 0

}

ftp: {

name: Transporter

shared: 0

guest access: 0

}

smb: {

name: Transporter

shared: 1

guest access: 0

}


where is this folder :-)

how can I get more info on the real path ?

OS X Server
