On Linux, I can, without unmounting, remount a partition readonly, e.g.
# mount -o remount,ro /something
and then later, again without unmounting
# mount -o remount,rw /something
Is it possible to do this on MacOS with a Promise RAID mount? I get:
mount: /Volumes/something/: unknown special file or file system.
Hi Daniel,
The /Volumes folder is a special device managed by macOS, it's not a good idea to try and do things there.
That being said, you can mount to another folder somewhere where you have proper premissions. Providing of course that macOS will allow you to umount in the /Volumes folder, but I think dragging it into the trash would accomplish that.
You might want to note the device being mounted first with the mount command, then you should be able to manually mount the device somewhere else.
I don't know if the macOS mount has a remount option, but you should be able to check the man page with 'man mount'
