10.5: Set a FireWire drive's mount point
This can also circumvent what I consider a bug with OS X's automount feature. If you have a user with a *true* roving account (like my wife with an ibook) and this user wants to use your desktop with her ibook account, the best way is to mount the ibook under firewire target disk mode and to change their account settings (in ldap or netinfomanager) to point to where their home directory will mount. In OS X, if the user forgets to start the computer, OS X will stupidly create a new folder at the place where the firewire disk *would* have mounted according to ldap or netinfomanager (depending on the version of OS X). Then, when the user realizes all their files aren't present, they mount their laptop in firewire mode but to no avail because OS X stupidly mounts it at a new point because it has already created a directory at the desired point. |
