10.3: Auto unmount external drives on logout
Authored by: maczac on Nov 07, '03 01:03:07PM

Please how do you turn this feature off. I suspect this may be causing another problem for me: After a fresh reboot, all external FW Volumes are available to any remote machine in the network. However, once the machine that is connected to those external volumes logs out, nothing short of a reboot will allow those external FW volumes to be accessable to remote machines in the network.

I have been combing the message boards for a solution, and perhaps this autounmounting "feature" is what is causeing the problems.

Another issue, and it may be related: Is that external firewire hard drives show up as "CDs, DVDs and iPods" to the local Finder, yet they are properly handled by remote machines, as "Connected servers." This Finder descrepancy may also be part of the problem to this issue.

Hoping for a fix, (10.3.1, but thinking Jaguar 10.2.8 is it.)

Zac
