Greetings Again This is what my mount point looks like when using the ls -la command. Starting with cd / using the root login drwxrwxrwt@ 7 root admin 238 Jul 6 07:12 Volumes Then moving to by "cd /Volumes" and again using ls -la drwxrwxrwt@ 7 root admin 238 Jul 6 07:12 . drwxrwxr-t+ 45 root admin 1598 Jun 23 13:36 .. drwxrwxr-t@ 44 root admin 1564 Feb 24 11:23 Maxtor 300 d---rwxr-x@ 57 root admin 2006 Mar 31 18:01 OSX 10.3.9 drwxrwxr-t 36 root admin 1292 Apr 6 19:48 OSX 10.5.8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Jul 5 15:58 Samsung 500 -> / dr-x---r-x@ 46 root admin 1632 Mar 31 17:11 SeaGate 500
