Q: 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 ?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide /Volumes/ as the path; if desired, drag the Transporter item out of it. If an attempt is made to access a drive when it's unavailable, a folder may be created where the volume would have been.
