Check Mount Point of Drive

[ekwipt]

I've been getting this issue when I've ejected my Thunderbolt drive, the mac has gone to sleep, and when I wake it back up it mounts the drive but changes the mount point.

for example, thunderbolt drive was called /Volumes/External_1

when remounted it gets the name /Volumes/External_1 2

Is there a way to check if drives have been ejected properly and unmounted in volumes?

Hmm, that's something the operating system does. Not sure why, perhaps the previous mount point is unavailable? You can check the Console app for events related to (un)mounting.

yes it's because it doesn't unmount properly, so in the /Volumes there's still a mount point called External_1, so it gives it a prefix of External_1 2

Can you temporarily check the Force unmount option to check if that makes a difference?

Closing issue as this issue is "caused" by the operating system.
