Ok, here is situation: I use JungleDisk to sync an online folder on to a external drive connected to my Mac.

If I right click Finder, click Go to Folder... then type /Volumes/ I see the drive linked here.

Once I remove the external drive, an actual folder is created here in the name of the external drive, JungleDisk continues to copy files to this folder, rather than stop.

Is this a feature of Mac OS X? Can I turn if off?

After I re-connect my external drive, the link to the drive is appended with a 1 (so if I called the drive SpareDrive it becomes SpareDrive 1 as the newly created folder is called SpareDrive.

I realise my explanation isn't very clear, but anyone understand this, and knows how to prevent it happening please let me know.

PS: I have a low reputation as I don't use this often, I tend to use stackoverflow, but will check back here for answers.
