Casper Imaging selects by default (for all hosts without stored imaging data) the first volume named "Macintosh HD" and complains if there is no such volume. @jhenkel shared a nice way to provide Casper Imaging another hint to find its target volume: simply create a file named .jamfTarget in the root folder of a volume and Casper Imaging will select it iff there is no "Macintosh HD" present.

Anyone got this working? I've not had much luck with something like the below:

touch /Volumes/Target HD/.jamfTarget

The file exists, but is not being picked up as the target drive, instead the disk @ disk0s2 is.

@jhenkel any pointers?
