Where can I find the log of all mounted volumes?
Solution 1:
You can find the information in /var/log/system.log
(or using the Console application). But the information is not kept forever.
For example:
Aug 4 07:34:34 ******** kernel[0]: hfs: mounted External on device disk3
Aug 4 07:34:44 ******** kernel[0]: hfs: mounted Time Machine on device disk5
and and a DMG
Aug 5 07:53:25 ******** kernel[0]: hfs: mounted Xcode on device disk6s2
After a while system.log
is compressed and archived. To search in all the stored logs
cd /var/log/
(sudo cat system.log; sudo gzcat system.log.*) | grep mounted
