10.3: Auto unmount external drives on logout
Authored by: tomem on Jan 10, '04 05:32:26PM

What if I want to use my machine as a file server so I can get to my files from anywhere on the net? And I want the machine to reboot after power interruptions and keep on serving. Not everyone wants to lug their drive around with them. I'd prefer to leave it home and access it remotely. This "feature" should definitely be a preference that can be changed!

I've been trying to do what I describe above for a couple of years thorough various upgrades, and it has been nothing but headaches the entire time. I'm not sure how much of my trouble is with EZquest (drive mfr.) and how much is with Apple, but even with its usual control of both hardware and software, Apple does not seem to have its act together on this firewire drive business.

And, I guess Apple sells a separate server OS, don't they!?
