Hi,
I have been meaning to follow up on this for some time but mostly it has not caused too much grief.
Sometimes when navigating to a destination for selection in some software there appears a duplication of volume names. If you select the wrong one it will have no content.
See the attached screenshot as an example.
Is there something that can be done to remedy this?

This is a Mac OS issue. I don't know, but you seem to have copied duplicate volume aliases to the side bar.
Go through and determine each duplicate, and drag it off the side bar. Then you will only have valid volumes listed.

G'day,
Thanks for the reply. You would be correct if that were a Finder sidebar in the previous attachment but it's not. It is an example of what happens when navigating/selecting a "destination", in this case muCommander.
The first attachment here is a Finder window and the 2nd is a PathFinder window and as you can see there are no duplications in these sidebar lists.
It most likely is a Mac OS thing though. Your reply led me to further investigate in System Information and I found that the Mount Point for each of the duplicated items was
/Volumes/volume-name 1 so for example FirstCapt would be Mount Point /Volumes FirstCapt 1 and so on.
The reason I thought it had something to do with SoftRAID was because I had a vague recollection of how OS X and SoftRAID interacted to know if a volume was just a Mac OS one or a SoftRAID one.
Maybe, and hopefully, you might still be able to offer a solution.

Hi again,
Just as a follow-up, I did some internet searching about the number 1 being appended to a mount point and found a solution here,
https://www.cnet.com/news/drives-in-os-x-appearing-with-1-appended-to-their-names/
So having just done this I can only hope that everything will be running smoothly and without incident. At least in System Information under Storage all mount points are correct, with none having the "1" appended.
Ken
PS Thanks for your time.
