plist file contained a name that was something like 10.0.1.8%2Fmnt_a2.plist (I'm writing that from memory) the name began with the IP address that the share had when I used it. plist file in this folder: /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/mounts. The dns323 item was listed as "map -static" which, as I understand from other posts, means that it's a mount that isn't actually mounted, but which the system has ready for mounting when needed.Īfter a lot of other effort, I finally discovered what was creating this phantom mount. The directory name was visible in Terminal, but if I tried to cd into it, I got a message saying "Connection refused." None of the standard Unix commands for deleting a directory had any effect I typically got a message saying "Resource busy" when I tried.Įventually, with the help of the experts on the forum on this site, I found that "dns323" was listed in the table of mounts that appeared in Terminal when I entered typed the df command. I eventually realized that there was a directory named "dns323" in my user folder, but that directory wasn't visible in the Finder, even if I made invisible files visible.
I also noticed that Find Any File was starting very slowly and when I used Find Any File to see if it could find any trace of "dns323," it listed the file in its results list, but said that the item had disappeared. I eventually realized that this problem started when I stopped using that NAS device. (The unit used a Linux-formatted disk.) In the past few months, whenever I used the excellent Yasu system maintenance utility, it would report an error message, saying that the file "dns323" wasn't found. I used to have a NAS device that I named "dns323," and which was visible in the Finder as an NFS share. The information here applies to Lion, and may differ in earlier and later versions. This is a hint about phantom NFS shares that may linger on your system long after you stopped accessing the share, and that may cause slowdowns and errors with various disk utilities.
