    Hi,

    tnx for this app!

    My ext3 partion is not mounted at startup, but can be mounted manually.

    Here is my sequence

    mkdir /Volumes/Dati
    sudo mount_ext2 /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/Dati
    mount
    [...]
    /dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/Dati (local)
    [...]
    sudo disktool -r
    Refreshing Disk Arbitration ...

    No drive pops up .... then I force close finder and upon restar my ext volume is shown.

    Maybe this can be helpful

    alessiof$ disktool -l
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk1',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk1s1',Mountpoint = '/', fsType = 'hfs', volName = 'OSX')
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk0',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s1',Mountpoint = '/Volumes/XP', fsType = 'ntfs', volName = 'XP')
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s2',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk0s3',Mountpoint = '', fsType = '', volName = '')

    Tnx for any help!

      workaround for the sidebar:
      press [apple]-g and enter '/Volumes/Dati' or wherever you have mounted the drive. voilà: it's in the sidebar.
