10.3: Auto unmount external drives on logout
Authored by: EatingPie on Nov 07, '03 02:15:43PM

I don't know if this helps, but my experience is simply that a user/any user need be logged in for a shared volume to be accessible.

I run an NFS-served firewire HD from a powerbook. I found that if I logged out, nobody could access/mount that drive. If I logged back in, drive went public again... no reboot required. So I made a lightweight used with restricted Finder and almost no application access (named, appropriately Backup). I keep this user logged in and the firewire drive remains NFS exported.

Boy, every day I think the list of Panther bugs will stop growing. Maybe tomorrow.......
