I should start by saying this isn't a problem I'm having that is Red specific but I wasn't sure where else to post.
I'm using a 2.5Ghz Macbookpro /4 giogg Ramm / 10.5.5
I use a Sonnet Esata / Expresscard adapter to dump to 2 external drives. On a job a month or so ago I had a freeze up which I think was related to the card being slightly removed by mistake - meant I had to pull the battery and restart.
I now have what appears to be 2 drives that are using mounting points - they show up as "Plato and Puma" even when nothing is attached. When I physically attach Plato it mounts as "Plato1" in certain programs though not in Finder.
Now this is where it gets a bit wierd. I only discovered this because of Redcine and R3Dmanager. All other programs browse via finder and Plato is seen as Plato no problem. Also Disc Utility just sees the real drive and has no referrence of the "ghost drives". Redcine however with it's internal browsing sees both the drives under volumes and R3D Data Manager, though it browses via finder to select dump locations, when selected it it giving me the path "plato1/dump etc"
Stranger still when I browse these ghost drives in Redcine I can see a full Red mag from the job that I was on when I had the crash. I can open all of the clips/ render them etc. I have never dumped a mag to my internal drive and yet somewhere they have been copied there and are available to Redcine. No .r3d's show in Spotlight/Finder and I've tried programs like What File to search everywhere on the internal drive but there's nothing!
How can I find these files and reset these ghost mounted drives? I should mention that I've repaired permissions / uninstalled redcine and trashed preferences etc and nothing seeems to work.
Could someone out there see how the similarity of how Redcine and R3d DataManager work at an OS level help me sort this out (Conrad / Deanan...)?
Any help appreciated!
Cheers
