Call me a control freak, but I like to see all the shared volumes on my Mac. I could open Terminal and cd to the Volumes folder, or I could use Finder and Go -> Go to Folder to see everything that OS X has mounted in my Volumes folder. But thats kind of a pain.
After a little bit of digging around, I found out about SetFile. SetFile is a command line utility that allows you to set the file attributes on files in an HFS+ directory. After figuring out the parameters for it, I came up with this little ditty to make the Volumes folder show up under "Macintosh HD." Run this in Terminal:
sudo SetFile -a v /Volumes
With this command, you are setting the visibility attribute on the Volumes folder to visible. To reverse the process, change -a v to -a V. Now open up "Macintosh HD" and you should now see all the volumes mounted on your Mac!
