Disk Utility Volume name issues in 10.10.1

Hi
I recently updated to 10.10.1 in the hopes that it would resolve the wi-fi issues, which it only partially did. Disregarding that, I did a usual disk verification that I tend to do after each major upgrade, and found that while verifying, the details box showed the volume name as what I believe to its unique identifier instead of its volume name.
So instead of showing: "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
It instead shows: "The volume (long string of numbers and letters)-(three shorts string of numbers and letters)-(a final long string of numbers and letters)" appears to be OK
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this, or if anyone knows if this is a problem.
Thanks

hello,
my personal opinion is that the Tasks part in BlackBerry10 serves only one purpose: bring compatibility with Outlook/Lotus through BES connectivity.
If your device is not linked to a BES server, I strongly advise you to look at the dozens of free and paid apps that manage tasks with much more efficiency than the Remember app.

First Kernel Panic - failed Disk Utility volume repair - Help?

Hello!
Well, you've seen the subject. 2 nights ago, after a long day of iTunes, Photoshop, Final Cut Express, and Halo, my powerbook had it's first kernel panic. When? When I unplugged my Lexar JD Lightning flash drive. I had just copied about 200 MB of music onto it (to copy to my imac), and ejected it. Instant panic.
Well, after a reboot, I ran disk warrior on all of my external drives - 2 USB (Western Digital 120GB, Iomega Exite 80GB), my Seagate 400 GB combo drive (Firewire), with 2 volumes, and my 4G clickwheel iPod - well, it's FAT32, so it didn't check it. (For use copying files to our winbox)
It worked properly, until I tried to repair the Iomega drive. It froze. Force reboot.
So, now I ran disk utility on my internal drive. While it was running, Backup started, and everything locked up. Force reboot again.
It rebooted and loged in just fine, so I restarted to the OS X install DVD (the one that came with the Powerbook - 10.3.7). I ran disk utility on Macintosh HD (boot drive). Permissions verification showed a few "special permissions". Permissions repair worked just fine. Disk verification found issues, and repair didn't work. It gave the following error while running:
"Invalid leaf record count. Should be 1 instead of 302"
In big bold letters, repairs failed. Odd, it checked 2 volumes -
at the bottom, it said
"Repair attempted on 2 volumes: (green text) 1 HFS volume repaired. (next line, red) 1 volume could not be repaired.
Right above this, in the progress window, it stated:
"The volume Macintosh HD was repaired successfully"
So, what? Is the second volume the install DVD?
My powerbook is running just fine, so I ran backup again. (the .Mac backup application from Apple)
Then, I ran Tech Tool Deluxe (3.03) - included on the AppleCare CD that came with our Applecare subscription for my Powerbook. It found no issues at all.
So, i'm clueless. I have not noticed any other issues. At least, since the issue.
Before this happened, I've noticed a few glitches. One is that iTunes has slowed down, particularly when changing tracks. The other is the menu bar battery indicator - sometimes it disappears - rather, the indicator. The space that it occupies in the menu bar remains empty, until you click on it - then it shows up fine. What's odd is that it's only the text - it's otherwise just fine.
What happened before the issue began? Well, I installed a new PNY ram card back around Easter - if that's the culprit, shouldn't it have shown an issue before now? Second: Installs. A few widgets, and a couple of applications: OS 10.4.7 and all other updates Software Update had to offer, Toast 7.1 update, Comic Life's new Universal version (a minor update, actually), Microsoft Office update (heh, probably that), and the trial of Salling Clicker - it's quite cool - Macworld (Aug 06 - new issue) gave the right rating (5 mice!). I dont' run permission checks enough, I know.
A while back, (like 10 months ago) my Powerbook wouldn't go to sleep. It turned out that it was one particular USB 2.0 hub - disconnecting it solved the issue. Its not unlike how my Seagate FW drive will keep my iMac from booting properly every now and then.
So, here are the questions:
1. What is the "leaf record count"? Is it very critical? Is it part of the physical HDD, or the system?
2. Powerbook's running fine, and no other issues. Is it okay to run?
3. If I need to repair/reformat (eventually), will it be sooner or later?
4. This seems rather odd, and very intermittant. How do I find out what the issue is?
5. What is the second, mysterious volume? Macintosh HD is not partitioned. (Could it be Classic?)
6. if the SMART status of the internal drive reports just fine, could it be missing something?
Thanks,
Daniel

Techtool Deluxe you want to be running version 3.0.4. Version 3.0.3 is not compatible with 10.4 and may be causing the leaf count issues. Here's the link to get an updated Techtool Deluxe:
https://support.apple.com/techtooldeluxe/main?id=dl
My suggestion is to start to simplify everything here. Leave everything disconnected from the machine, and boot off the Disk Warrior 3.0.3 CD, and repair the internal drive first. Use the Option key to boot:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
Once you are able to do that, then see if you can repair the external drives.
RAM issues can crop up at anytime, and without warning. No test can detect all bad RAM, but once detected, then you know it is accurate.

bob.m.

bob:
Disk Utility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing a volume is a serious directory error which Disk Utility cannot repair.
•I suggest you read through the article.
•Then, if you do not have an up-to-date backup, it will be a good idea to try to save as much as you can of your data.
•The article suggests using a third party utility. Disk Warrior and Tech Tool Pro are the best utilities for this job. You will need to get one of them and run it, by booting from the CD, or installing it on an external firewire drive or on a second Mac which you can then run in Firewire Target Disk Mode.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

IMac Disk utility volume doesn't go away?

Hello! Could anyone please help me with this? (Please bear with me since this is my first post)
So a couple of days ago I tried to bootcamp my mac to install windows 7 while half way through the power went out...
It came back on to horror as when I booted up the Mac I had over 300GB of hard drive space eaten up and gone.
I spent the next few days fooling around with help related topics Ive found on the forum to try and get that space back.
But eventually I decided to just reinstall the OS since i messed up so badly, wasnt a problem for me since I back up everything.
Eventually I was able to clear a space for "internet recovery" mode to re-dowload mountain lion and install it.
But when I logged in and set everything up I was greeted with 2 Macintosh HD's
In disk utility it looks like this, which greatly confuses me:
How could I get this to be all one partiton again? To be able to install windows 7 on boot camp it says it needs to have the whole hard drive as one partition.
So Ive been stumped all day as to how to get it back together, Ive tried third party software, booting from a live USB and editing it, and still nothing has been able to change it.
The first Macintosh HD is around 700GB and the 2nd one is around 300GB but its a fusion drive (I think the SSD is 128GB hooked up to a 1TB HDD because it shows up as a 1.12TB drive)
I can read and write to both areas as they show up in finder as if they were hard drives.
But I get no option to shrink or expand them or combine them back together...
Technical Information:
iMac 27-inch late 2012
1TB Fusion Drive
OS X 10.8.4, Everything up to date
Thank you very much for your time in reading this and I hope you can help me, or well I hope someone knows how to fix this!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like Fusion Drive messed up everything. In this case, I recommend you to make a backup of your data and format the whole Fusion Drive.
First, get an external drive and make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
When you have done that, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting to start up in Internet Recovery (not Recovery HD), so you can format the whole Fusion Drive. Open Disk Utility and follow these steps to format it > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Finally, check that everything is OK in Disk Utility, close it, select the option to restore a Time Machine backup and follow the steps. Another thing you can try is to reinstall OS X as usual and restore the backup during the setup, which is safer

Disk Utility RAID Issue

I'm trying to determine if the problems that I'm encountering are a software issue or a hardware issue.
I'm setting up a Mac Pro with Leopard and have four Maxtor 6G160E0 160GB hard drives that I'm trying to set up as two Mirrored drive sets. Everything seemed to go fine, created the two mirror sets, installed Leopard, configured and tested two user accounts and Office 2004, then updated everything to the latest version. When done I shut it down planning on moving it to it's final home tonight.
But, when I turned it on both mirror sets were degraded - all four drives were still recognized as RAID slices but came up as failed in the RAID tab. I saw no errors reported in the log so I assumed that those two drives were faulty. I shut down, moved the good drives to bays 1 & 2 and rebooted.
First reboot gave me a prohibition symbol instead of the usual Apple. Powered down and on and it booted fine but the second drive came up as a failed RAID slice. Rebooted again and both were fine.
I reinstalled the two "failed" drives and reformatted them - both reformatted fine and mounted without problems. I unmounted the new partition just in case, but, when I tried to rebuild the RAIDs I get the following in the error log:

I'm at a loss at the moment. I am leaning towards bad drives, but FOUR bad drives all at once is suspicious.
I've searched for similar issues and found none so I thought I'd check here and see if anyone had any ideas.

G'day Zeekm,
Thank you for that. I did this and it seems to work. The Disk Utility GUI does not seem to work.
Hope this helps some one,

Disk Utility short-changed me by 20GB

I partitioned my new Time Machine external drive exactly as per the log below. Upon inspection of the drive afterwards, partition 1 is indeed 455GB but partition 2 is only 10GB instead of the 30GB requested (and delivered according to the log). Anyone know where the missing 20GB went? I double checked that I hadn't asked for any free space to be left on the drive. Disk utility says that the total space on the drive is 465GB (is this right for a 500GB drive?) but in this case, why did it allow me to create partitions of 455 and 30GB? It's annoying because the 30GB was the only size I specified since I was happy to leave the remainder to TM. Now it looks as though I will have to erase and start over (having already done one TM backup), putting the 30GB partition at the top so that Disk Utility doesn't mess with it...

The size discrepancy has been a well know issue since hard drives were invented. Manufacturers say a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. The computers say a megabyte is 1,024,000 or 1,048,576 bytes. Add 3 more zero's for GB's. The larger the drive, the larger the loss.
The same goes for DVD's that say they are 4.7 GB, but only hold 4.3 GB.
The math doesn't agree, and the Manufacturers get to advertise a larger size...
Your telling your computer to partition a 465 GB hard drive and use 485 GB to do it. Something's gotta give

Disk Utility hangs ("not responding") when attempting to Repair Disk on Time Capsule sparsebundle. Help.

I am trying to improve the performance of my Time Machine backup and retrievals via my 2nd Gen. Time Capsule from my iMac Core 2 Duo hard drive with SL 10.6.8. The incremental backups generally take 20 - 40 minutes each hour generally with fewer than 100 MB of data being backed up. I have read through numerous threads on these forums about Time Capsule and Time Machine issues as well as the very helpful Pondini site (http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html) and have tried many other suggestions (listed below), but have been unable to attempt a Disk Utility repair disk on the Time Capsule sparsebundle file.
After locating the sparsebundle 'file' in the finder under Shared/TC/Data, I am only sometimes able to drag the sparsebundle into the Disk Utility volumes and disk window. About fifty percent of the time, Disk Utility hangs when attempting to drag in the sparsebundle. If I am able to get it listed and click on "repair disk", then the beach ball begins to spin and nothing happens. This occurs whether or not I first use AirPort Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from the Time Capsule. I have given it over one hour to attempt the repair disk, but nothing happens, i.e., not a single message shows up in the detail window. The beach ball just spins, and Disk Utility shows up in red as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.
Also note that on my new Macbook Air, Time Machine runs quite quickly via this same Time Capsule from my new Macbook Air using OS X Lion (which seems to indicate that the Time Capsule drive itself is OK).
I would appreciate any tips on getting Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my sparsebundle, as I seem to have exhausted most other options (see below) for improving Time Capsule performance -- aside of course, from wiping the Time Capsule clean and starting all over.... (which I really don't want to do, and from what I've read, has not helped some people who've tried this anyway).
Many thanks!
Although I would like to focus this thread on the Disk Utility / sparsebundle "Repair Disk" problem, I should mention that I have tried the following other things:
1. Repaired disk permissions on my hard drive
2. Used Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my hard drive after starting up from a SuperDuper external backup
3. Run DiskWarrior on my hard drive, again, from a separate startup disk
4. Did the "full reset of Time Machine", a la Pondini Troubleshooting #A4
5. Changed my computer and Time Capsule names to simple short names with only alphanumeric characters and no spaces
6. Ensured that my Time Capsule is being accessed only via ethernet
7. Relaunched the finder
8. And finally, attempting to use Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle - thus the nature of this post

OK, no takers out there, but I answered my own question (sort of).
The answer is that even though Disk Utility shows up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu and appears to hang, it is actually still working. A bit of patience shows that after about an hour, my Disk Utility was able to show the 1.44 TB Time Machine sparsebundle from Time Capsule in the disk window on the left hand side. Once this appeared, I was able to click on "Repair Disk" (note that prior to doing this, I had to "Disconnect All Users" from my Time Capsule using the Airport Utility program; otherwise you will get a "could not unmount disk" error). Again, the Repair Disk function appeared to hang Disk Utility as it showed up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu. However, after about 8 hours, Disk Utility did run the entire Repair Disk protocol on the sparsebundle. The results DO NOT show up in the Disk Utility details window - so even if you are patient enough to let it complete, you will not see anything and may think that nothing happened. However, you can find the familiar results of the Repair Disk function by looking on Console - find the "DiskUtility.log" under Files: ˜/Library/Logs.
Unfortunately, I was hoping to find a problem that would have been subsequently repaired which would result in dramatically increased Time Capsule speed, but this was not the case. Disk Utility showed everything to be "OK" and I am stuck with a very slow Time Capsule....
(And of note, my new Macbook Air (OS Lion) Time Machine functions blazingly fast on both backup and retrieval to and from the very same Time Capsule - even though, these are occuring wirelessly via AirPort -- granted the size of this sparsebundle is an order of magnitude smaller at this point, i.e., only 10 GB right now)
Would still be happy to hear of any similar experiences or tips on getting Time Capsule to work more quickly.

Airport+ disk utility + external hdd = headache

I went out and bought a new 1TB HDD. When I hook it up to my airport extreme I could not see the drive in disk utilities to format and partition the drive, I am allocating 300gig to time machine and the remaining will be filled with my music and movies. I then plugged the HDD direct into my USB port on the Imac and it saw it not problems, I could partition the drive, it auto mounted etc. After I partitioned the drives I then placed it back onto the airport and can mount the drives on the desktop, i can see them in the airport utility however I open time machine and it can not see the drive, I open disk utility and it can not see the drive. If I take it out plug it direct to the computer everything works fine. Please help I have spent 4 days on google and if i google one more topic I think I will strap C4 to my airport and say good bye, please help

I just set this up yesterday - Macbook 10.5.6 using a disk on an Airport extreme n. To speed things up I set mine up using wired Ethernet. Time Machine will not recognize your disk and is not supported by Apple. There is an Apple Support document stating this. But this works fine. From what I have read, 10.5.6 seems to have wiped out most peoples previous setup.
Here is what I did.
Attached the USB drive to the MB, formatted the disk Mac OSE Journaled
Attached the drive to the Airport, Set user and permissions
In Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Open Disk Utility
File/New/Blank Disk Image
Volume Name U Name It
Volume Size Use the drop down and create your own custom size
Volume Format Mac OS E Journaled
Encryption i used 128
Partitions Apple Partition Map
Image Format sparse bundle disk image
Choose your AE disk location. Click Create. Enter and verify a password and click OK
Open Time Machine, choose backup disk and navigate to the sparse bundle image you created above, the image will mount on your desktop and the back up will start. Obviously it will take a while. When your done with the big one, you can then use wireless. It will work the same.
Basically you are creating a sparse bundle image on the remote disk and telling TM to recognize it. This is the format TM uses on the Network. I searched for days to get this to work wired and wireless.

when i click the apple in the top left corner the whole menu is greyed out... what to do ? help me please
Sincerly AppleNoob92
p.s i have no experience in apple imac's at all never used before, but im kinda windows nerd so computers i understand but this imac make my insane, cant seem to find any solutions anywhere on the WWW....

Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

Cant create/convert image to read/write with Disk Utility

dear all, because of some reasons, I have to combine files from 2 Recovery DVDs into one, and since the first disc is bootable and have guiding program installed, so my idea is:
1. Create a read/write image of the first disc
2. Mount the image
3. Add files of disk 2 into the image
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.6 and Disk Utility is 11.5.2
My question is:
No matter I choose "New Image" and select "read/write" to create a new image, or I choose "Convert" and select "read/write" to convert a created image, the results are the same: I still get READ-ONLY image only.
Is there any trick, or is the version of disk utility got some issues?
Or is there any other free tool can do so?
I have Toast 10 and it's image merging functions seemed not working either...
Thanks all in advance

If your database version is 11g R2 then you can use active database duplication as Hermant says.
http://taliphakanozturken.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/creating-standby-database-with-rman-active-database-duplication-in-11gr2/
Otherwise you need data pump export/import, transportable tablespace, etc to transfer your data.

Since I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, my external HD is no longer visible in AirPort utility (in the AirPort disks tab). I also installed the AirPort utility for iOS5, it reported a disk problem, but running Disk Utility on the Mac showed no issues. Help!

To expand on the question, I have performed the following steps:
1 - Unplugged external drive (1TB WD MyBook) from the Time Capsule
2 - Reconnected it. At this point, AirPort utility for iOS5 reported a problem with the disk (Time Capsule light was blinking Orange)
3 - Unplugged external drive, connected it to MacBook Pro, ran Disk Utility. It found no problems (disk visible straight away on the MacBook Pro).
4 - Reconnected to Time Capsule - still doesn't show up under the "Disks" option under Air Port utility. Or rather, the hardware is visible (i.e the physical disk) but not the volume.
5 - I tried another external hard drive, and the volume also doesn't appear in the Disk section under the AirPort utility.
The WD disk is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
This is a big problem for me, as the drive houses my iTunes library.
Anyone else had a similar problem? It all worked flawlessly until last week.

I love computers.
Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

Same Disk Utility issue appeared on 2 different Macs after 10.4.6 upgrade

Yesterday I upgraded the following two different Macs from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6:
1. iMac G3 400MHz, 384MB ram, Maxtor 40GB HD (update via Software Update)
2. PowerMac G4 450MHz AGP, 500MB ram, Ata 133 interface with 160GB HD from a brand I don't remember (update via separate 10.4.5->10.4.6 installer)
The update went fine and both computers booted and function normally in all obvious respects.
On the other hand, when I ran Disk Utility on both Macs and verified the startup drive, the SAME IDENTICAL problem was reported:
Verifying volume “Internal HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Illegal name
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Internal HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
I ran Disk Utility from the 10.4 Install Disk but it says it coulnd't repair the damage.
I'm not sure about how severe this issue is. I'll refrain from reinstalling everything on both computers until more light is shed on the problem. I'm posting this in the hope that others confirm the issue and Apple take a look into it.

Lollo, Welcome to the discussion area!
This error appears to be related to Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe Creative Suite 2. See File system, I/O, Illegal Name errors, or system crash after you install (Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, Adobe Creative Suite 2).

Disk Utility can see my drive but not mount/repair a volume on that drive.

Situation:
During a permissions repair on an external drive, the power went out.
Since then, it won't mount. It spins up, lights on etc, and the drive itself shows up in Disk Utility.
The volume is greyed out.
When I select the greyed out volume and select INFO, I get:
     OWNERS ENABLED: NO
     CAN TURN OWNERS OFF: YES
I would think it was a permissions issue since the power went off during repair, and I'm hoping to force-repair permissions.
Tried Disk Warrior (v 4.4)... it mounted but I got this message (despite hardware being fine):
          The directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure (-36, 2747)
It's not a hardware issue; the drive is fine, it just won't mount.
What I've done:
Unplugged/replugged drive
Swapped out cables from a similar drive
Attempted Disk Utility on two laptops with same results
Booted from startup disk, ran DU, same results
Ran Disk Warrior
The only way to get the drive to show up in Disk Utility is to open DU, then plug in USB. It shows up every time, but once I attempt something, I have to pull/replug USB.
I cannot make a disk image in Disk Utility.
I have another completely empty 3TB drive that I could back everything up to.
Specs:
External drive, 3TB Western Digital, USB, HFS, no partitions.
Lion, 10.7.3
Mac Pro, 6GB memory, Intel processor
Drive name "WD My Book 1130 Media", Volume "Big Boy"
Suggestions?
Any force-repair terminal stuff?
Any software I'm not trying?
Any tricks?
Let me know if I'm missing some helpful info; I've done screenshots of every message screen; two are included below.
Thanks for any help!

Try this:
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select the desired hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

Disk Utility Mount Volume

Trying to mount a particular volume (john) in disk utility using Applescript. Just got the script to open disk utility. What language is necessary to mount this particular volume?
thanks

This is a slightly messy situation, particularly as code seems to work differently with 10.4.6 and 10.4.11
Long story short: I've been using the do shell script command for this on 10.4.6 for some time, with an issue related only to diskutil unmount (not mount) -- see discussion of this below.
I only recently upgraded to 10.4.11 and SEEM to be seeing different behavior, but I don't have time to explore that right now.
In any case:
1) Niel is correct in that disk utility isn't scriptable beyond basic commands
2) Using the shell (or do shell script), I've been using the disk identifier, rather than the disk name. You can find the disk identifier by highlighting the disk of interest in disk utility and then selecting "Get Info". The disk identifier will be in the form (example) 1s3.
[3) BTW, you don't need a tell block for do shell script. Dispense with the "tell app "Finder"/end tell"]
4) Try this:
do shell script "diskutil (un)mount disk1S3" -- using, of course, the correct identifier, and it doesn't matter that the disk is an external one. And, of course, delete "(un)" if you are mounting the drive.
5) This will probably work for you, but I'm finding at the moment that identifying the drive by name rather than disk identifier is NOT working consistently in 10.4.11.
6) You will probably find that the "mount" command is fast but that the unmount command has a delay of some 20 seconds +/-. This happens also with 10.4.6, and there is no apparent workaround with "do shell script." HOWEVER, if you use terminal more directly, via AppleScript," that unmount delay disappears -- at least in 10.4.6. My quick tries in 10.4.11 seem to reveal a new issue (later).
To take the more direct approach, try code like this:
tell app "Terminal"
do script "diskutil unmount disk1s3 -- NOT do shell script
quit saving no
end tell
The downside of this is that a Terminal window opens (however briefly). In 10.4.6, the "quit saving no" line promptly got rid of the window after the drive had unmounted but, in 10.4.11, the Terminal app seems reluctant to quit. I need to investigate this more.
OKAY, now you're left with the problem of using the disk identifier, which changes on every re-boot of the computer. The scripts I wrote in the past actually get the disk identifier associated with each drive name -- but these are long scripts with some pretty messy code, and you probably don't want to get into that sort of thing. On the other hand, it seems to me that I've successfully used the /Volumes/(drive name) approach in 10.4.6, so this may be another instance of 10.4.11 acting differently.
If you want, try some of the suggestions above and post your findings -- I think I'll be looking at this more with respect to the apparent 10.4.11 issues.
