External drive contents stored on HD volume???


i'm not quite sure how happened, here happened...

- have external usb drive hooked airport extreme base station called "airdisk"

- several weeks ago, loaded on 6,000 photos new iphoto library on external drive. (i held down option when opening iphoto , created library on "airdisk")

- religiously external drive (good boy, me!)

- checked external drive today , found no photos - iphoto library folder empty. check iphoto , still there.

hmmmm...

after doing little hunting , playing in terminal (mmmm... unix), discovered volume on internal hard drive called "airdisk-1", , entire iphoto library (17+ gb) located here.

so, heck happened? why did photos loaded on "airdisk-1" volume, did not create, rather external "airdisk" drive?

exciting stuff has happened on new-ish mbp (2.16 ghz).

thanks,
doug
