Access Volumes folder Mac OS 10.6.8
InDesign we had an issue in which photos had been replaced. When one person placed the photo on one machine and another person opened the document on another the photo had been replaced with a photo with a similar name but in another location.
Volumes folder contained several versions of the connected volume appended with a “-1”, “-2” etc.
Access this hidden folder by clicking on desktop and hit key combination Command, shift, G. Which will open a “go to folder window” Type /volumes and enter.

When your machine crashes the list of servers located in this folder do not always clear and when you reconnect to the server / volume the new connection is appended with a “-1”
