[QUOTE="BondAMR, post: 1812218, member: 399056"] @ferrarr I’m still using Snow Leopard and a big proponent of it so I don’t want to upgrade it for my main daily system, but now I think I figured it out …when you are using one partition and you look in disk utility the mount point will show nothing, but if you have a 2nd partition then it will show that mounting point with the volume name, but only if you are not currently into and using that volume name, and the same applies to external drives. I noticed this just now on my MBA which I keep a few different OS on that. But a strange thing happened, when I cut the main Lion partition in half to add a Yosemite partition, for some reason doing that also renamed the whole SSD drive and it didn’t keep the name of the SSD manufacturer like 121.3 GB APPLE SSD S… I have never seen this renaming of the whole disk before, is this unusual? Also why does it say Logical Partition for it’s format and no the usual Mac OS Extended (Journaled) instead? [/QUOTE]
