Ok I don't get it. Maybe one of you Unix gods can enlightened a poor stupid Mac programmer as to how you unlock a volume under Unix. Here is the problem. For some reason Mac OS X Public Beta is insisting on locking one of my partitions on my internal drive. I don't get this?????? Why is Mac OS X locking the partition????? The drive is an internal IDE drive with three partitions. First partition is 1 GB with Mac OS 9 software only, second partition is 1 GB with Mac OS 9 software and some utilities, third partition is 23 GB and is used as a backup device. Every time I boot into Mac OS X and log in as root the first partition is locked. If I type the mount from the command line it lists the drive as (local, read-only). Who is telling this drive to be mounted as read-only????
