	# ---------------------------------------

	# remove_disk: spin down unneeded disk
	# ---------------------------------------
	# diskutil eject /dev/disk1s3

	# to change the password on an encrypted disk image:
	# ---------------------------------------
	# hdiutil chpass /path/to/the/diskimage

	# to mount a read-only disk image as read-write:
	# ---------------------------------------
	# hdiutil attach example.dmg -shadow /tmp/example.shadow -noverify

	# mounting a removable drive (of type msdos or hfs)
	# ---------------------------------------
	# mkdir /Volumes/Foo
	# ls /dev/disk* to find out the device to use in the mount command)
	# mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/Foo
	# mount -t hfs /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/Foo

	# to create a file of a given size: /usr/sbin/mkfile or /usr/bin/hdiutil
	# ---------------------------------------
	# e.g.: mkfile 10m 10MB.dat
	# e.g.: hdiutil create -size 10m 10MB.dmg
	# the above create files that are almost all zeros - if random bytes are desired
	# then use: ~/Dev/Perl/randBytes 1048576 > 10MB.dat
