I'm having a bit of trouble with my external hdd and terminal. I've been able to access files on it via terminal in the past, but since I upgraded to El Capitan I can't seem to find anything on my external hdd. I can navigate through it and use stuff from it fine using Finder.
But then when I try to find anything using Terminal:
I'm really confused here — this has never happened before. Any ideas?
edit: did ls -l /Volumes:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Oct 4 22:05 Macintosh HD -> /
drwx------+ 2 Shan admin 68 Oct 11 17:29 ShanStore
drwxrwxr-x 17 Shan staff 646 Oct 29 21:41 ShanStore 1
Not sure why it's showing two external hdds — I only have the one

For whatever reason, the drive got mounted/attached under
/Volumes/ShanStore 1
. The number will not be shown in Finder butbash
(in Terminal) is a bit more strict here.To fix:
sudo rmdir /Volumes/ShanStore /Volumes/ShanStore\ 1
(you'll probably get an error message about a non-existing/Volumes/ShanStore\ 1
, which is ok)ls -l /Volumes
to (hopefully) see/Volumes/ShanStore
