In Mac OS X, what is the /.vol
directory for? I noticed that Excel usually reverences files (while investigating in instruments) using a /.vol
path. Is it a folder for temporary files, or does it contain links to all files in the volume?
If so, how can I reference a file via its /.vol
path?
3Just to explain, the first two numbers returned by
stat
are the volume ID and the inode../vol
is used to access files by volume ID and inode. – jetset – 2014-09-25T23:16:33.320
