I have a file server at home running Lion client which has a shared volume connected to the laptops that are our families daily drivers. I mounted the drive once using Finder and connecting to the static IP of the server, saving the name/password in the keychain. I then dragged the mounted server icon into Login Items so that it remounts at login. Shared volume is named domestique and points to a folder on the server at /domestique and is mounted on the laptops using a user also named domestique but the shared volume is not the domestique user home directory.
Recently I have noticed that the drive disconnects about ⅓ of the time on waking from sleep. Wake up the laptop and the custom icon on the desktop for the mounted drive is gone and is replaced by the generic network drive system icon and the volume domestique on the desktop shows the home directory of the user domestique instead of the shared domestique folder at /domestique on the server. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Should I change the name of the share or user so that they are different? I'm thinking that maybe the laptop OS (Lion for both) is becoming confused because there is both a domestique share from /domestique on the server as well as a domestique share from /users/domestique on the server…but figured I would see if anybody had any other ideas before I tried reconfiguring things. Way back in the OS 9 days this worked perfectly and it worked pretty well even after going to Mac OS X; it has always disconnected itself periodically but at least until the last couple of weeks only happened maybe once a month or so vice the several times a week now. Thanks for any ideas. ----------------------------------------------- There are only three kinds of stress; your basic nuclear stress, cooking stress, and A$$hole stress.
