autodiskmount does work in Panther rc script... BUT don't use it!!
To get autodiskmount to work in Panther, you need to sleep after the call. IE
In Panther, a lot of stuff in the /etc/rc script runs in parallel. The /etc/rc script executes it, but does not wait for it to return before going on to the next step. Doing the sleep ensures that autodiskmount completes before the /etc/rc script gets too far afield. Note that my original version of this hint used autodiskmount rather than mount_hfs. But once my swap overflowed the partition (ooh bad!), that method never worked again without intervention on my part... and was flakey from then on. I still overflowed my swap after implementing the mount_hfs method, and much to my surprise it did recover... without any intervention on my part. And still works! So I do not recommend using autodiskmount in Panther's /etc/rc script! And I say this as one of the original people who suggested it for use in Jaguar, so I'm not making this statement lightly. --- |
