That may be true for writable mounted volumes or folders with custom icons
that you paste into the Get Info window on the Mac side; but that's not what
I am referring to.
I am talking about the black & white world icon that is the default icon
given to a mounted volume when it is mounted without write access and
doesn't have a custom icon yet. I want to know where this icon resource is
stored.
