I'm opening this topic in order to try to find out how with certain older macOS versions, API based mounts appear to be creating multiple directories.
Users have observed names like: /Volumes/Share-1, /Volumes/Share-2, /Volumes/Share-3, etc.
As at least one other user has confirmed: this seems related to API mounts in older macOS version, potentially before macOS Ventura (13.x), as it no longer seems to appear with newer macOS versions.
The goal being:
- determine how these are being created, so we know how to avoid or fix the situation
- what macOS versions may be affected
- if these orphaned directories are still actively being used (appear in "mount")
So for all that wish to chime in, please try to report
- macOS version
- ConnectMeNow version (if not already the latest)
- output from Terminal command "mount" (mask private info if any is visible, eg replace username with "username" and password with "password")
- possibly list other applications that may trigger a mount (eg. Forklift, PathFinder, self made scripts, startup items, etc)
