I have a firewire enclosure with a 500GB hard drive in it. There are 3 partitions on the hard drive with the following names:
- Snow Leopard
- NTFS
- HFS
However when I run ls /Volumes
it gives me this:
HFS HFS 1 Momentus XT NTFS Snow Leopard
Why does this HFS 1
partition appear? Running distil list
does not show any sign of a HFS 1
partition:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Momentus XT 499.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk1
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Snow Leopard 80.0 GB disk1s2
3: Apple_HFS HFS 150.0 GB disk1s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data NTFS 89.6 GB disk1s4
I've noticed this behaviour since I set Transmission to download all torrents to /Volumes/HFS/Torrents
. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I have simply deleted the HFS 1
folder with rm -rf
as it was empty, but I'm still wondering where it came from.
