I have no idea how this "@" got there; the volume (a disk partition) was created in the usual way with diskutil. How can I get rid of these "@" attributes? I don't think the "@" decorator prevents any access by itself. The "@" decorator in 'ls' output is explained in the man page (the 'file' has extended attributes). To see what attributes are present, use the 'xattr' command (use "xattr -h" to see what the command does). HTH Justin -- Justin C.
