10.3: Auto unmount external drives on logout
Authored by: maczac on Nov 07, '03 04:06:01PM

Pie: Are you saying that your external FW HD remains visible to the network after subsequent logouts and logins with Panther?

I understand that you must be logged in and the drives must be mounted on the local drive. Under Jaguar, I had absolutely no problems logging out, logging back in, and so forth, the external firewire HD was remotely accessable this way through numerous logouts and logins of the local machine.

Under Panther, however, this only works until the the FIRST logout, after a reboot. Thereafter the external drives remain network unavailable (except that the local machine can still automount them) until I reboot and login again.

This is a very frustrating issue with Panther, and unless fixed soon will necessitate a downgrade (looking more like an upgrade) to Jaguar.
