Resolved Removing a network volume from /Volumes

[CodeBreaker]

Hi,
I used to share files between a Linux server and my MacBook using SMB and NFS. My Linux HD used to mount as minty in the Finder sidebar.

Now I don't require file sharing between the two and so I don't use it. But I keep getting console messages saying "09/09/2011 12:05:29.173 com.apple.automountd: mount_nfs: can't mount /harshad from 192.168.1.4 onto /Volumes/minty: Host is down
"

There is a folder named minty in /Volumes. How to get rid of it? I tried deleting using Finder as well as Terminal, no success.

PS: I'm noob in networking

Never mind. I solved it. This Apple whitepaper helped: http://images.apple.com/business/docs/Autofs.pdf

Solution:
Launch Directory Utility
Select Directory Editor
Select "Mounts" from the "Viewing" drop-down list
Delete the mount

I spent the past few days poking my brain with terminal commands and conf/plist files, and the solution was just 3 mouse clicks
