Now that the list is back… I have three machines and a NAS that I need to keep network shares mounted on all three machines from he other two machines and the NAS, but this is turning out to be a huge problem, especially on the Mac mini running OS X Server 10.10.5.
What I need is some utility that automatically checks when a network share is missing and then, maybe every 5 minutes, tries to remount it. I need to be able to run it on all my machines, and it needs to handle smb:// and it need to put the mounts into /Volumes/ and it needs to clean dead mount points so I don’t end up with DATA-1 and DOCS-3 mounts instead of DATA and DOCS. One problem is that sometimes I am able to mount shares using my Apple ID and sometimes I have to use my short user name, and the mounts look different: Machine 1: //shortu@Drobo5N._afpovertcp._tcp.local/TV 16Ti 9.3Ti 6.7Ti 58% 2483609353 1805610780 58% /Volumes/TV //applid@thanatos._smb._tcp.local/Porphyrion 15Ti 5.6Ti 9.0Ti 39% 373747288 602972067 38% /Volumes/Porphyrion Machine 2: //[email protected]/Porphyrion 15Ti 5.6Ti 9.0Ti 39% 0 18446744073709551615 0% /Volumes/Porphyrion //shortu@Drobo5N/TV 16Ti 9.3Ti 6.7Ti 58% 0 18446744073709551615 0% /Volumes/TV-1 You can see that the Drobo mount appears entirely differently between machine 1 and 2 and 10.0.0.113 is Thanatos, but I cannot mount it by name on Machine 2. (and you can see that TV-1 problem in machine 2). It’s all very odd and very frustrating. Ideas? -- There's no such thing as too much chocolate. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
