So, is there anyway of freevo not checking for directory > sizes or images? I've been suffering with this as well, the problem is autofs. I haven't tried this yet, but a easy solution is to change the timeout for the auto mount. I've found a link here http://www.linux-consulting.com/Amd_AutoFS/autofs-5.html#ss5.3
Shown is away to change the timeout value in the auto.master file, hopefully this helps you out until that patch is written! # # Sample /etc/auto.master file # ------ # format of this file: # mountpoint map options # For details of the format, look at autofs(8) # /.autofs /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60 # # end of file > Idealy I would wirte a plugin that would show what machines are on/off > by pinging them and showing them in the idlebar greyed out or not and in > the movies/music/pictures only the machines that are on would show the > directories. I would like to see a patch like that too! > > Nicholas Ruddick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
