Is it possible to specify an alternate mount point for Knox’ vaults, so that instead of mounting the vault at the default /Volumes/ directory, I could mount it within my home folder or another location? Basically, I would like to create a vault that mounts to /User/$HOME/Accounts instead of /Volumes/Accounts; ideally in a location that other users on the same system cannot access the mounted image or even know that it exists. I know that hdiutil -attach ”/path/to/disk_image” -mountpoint ”/Users/$HOME/.../MountPoint” will basically do what I am looking to accomplish. But I would love to be able to have the option in Knox’s more friendly interface.

Any suggestions on how I would go about doing this?

Unfortunately, other users are able to see the existence of open volumes even if they have no access to the mount point. So from a data security point of view, there doesn’t seem to be a benefit. There are other situations where custom mount points would be desirable – a lot of people have requested the feature in order to replace data at a fixed path with an encrypted copy – but so far we’ve resisted the urge and erred on the side of simplicity.
