There's your problem right there. When you cd to the directory, remember, "Volumes" starts with a capital v, not a lower case V. Remember, it is case sensitive.

so:

cd /Vol tab

should do the trick. Obviously, ty tab, I don't mean literally type: T A B, I mean, hit the tab key for tab completion.

then you can do:

ls -1

and that should show you the volumes mounted.

then just do

cd space Volume name, and hit enter.

IE:

cd /Volumes

cd "Macintosh HD"

Remember, you need quotes around things if it is more than one word and has a space in the directory name.

That's just the nature of the beast of Unix, don't ask me why.

Subject: Help with flash drive



I do most things in terminal. In the past when I wanted to use a flash drive I put it in a usb port and went to the volumes directory and there it was.

Now however that no longer works. Any suggestions of how to reverse to the previous state?

Thanks. XB
