External Disk Mount outside / volumes

Hi Everyone,

We are facing distribution of external disk which is attached as /Volume/Untitled in the MAC machine. Ideally, this external disk shouldn't be part of the root. We're facing one issue when we add anything in the external disk, it first add in the root because this external disk is like an extension of the root one. That's why we're not able to get the benefit of the external disk, facing full storage crunch in all the machine.

Can anyone please suggest a work around.

Our requirement is we are looking to mount external disk as aseperate mount point (i.e /externaldisk instead of default /volumes/Untitled).

Thank you

Can anyone please suggest a work around.

Are you looking to write code for this?
