btw:
apple implemented a mount script called "mount_afp" located in /sbin. sadly they got no man-page for it, so i cannot imagine what they mean with -o [option]...
btw:
mount_afs, mount_nfs, mount_ufs, etc. come from the BSD world. mount(1) is just a wrapper that calls one of these based on how you've set the '-t' flag. It's there for conveinence's sake.
Re: mount_afp
mount_afp is a program launched by mount when specified witht the afp type. I'd suppose the options are the same as the mount options (for example, read-only access, etc.). From the man page for mount:
Re: mount_afp
You can use AutomountMaker

How does one make this show up in the finder
This is a GREAT tip. The only problem I'm having with it is that it doesn't seem to allow the finder to 'see' the volumes. I have tried messing with the privleges and owner using chown and chmod, but nothing seems to allow me to view the file server in the finder and have it show up like a server would if I mounted it through the finder. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this happen? I've tried various combinations of chown and chmod, but to no avail.

Run 'disktool -r' after mounting the AFP volume. This causes the Disk Arbitration system

Thanks to Xil for the missing piece!!! now I have a little script that rudimentarily allows me to mount my local server. Theoretically, this could be put in Startup items and run automatically, though I'm planning on adding some checking to make sure that the server is not already mounted. (Right now its blind setup and will give errors). At any rate, I thought I'd pass it on to anyone who might be interested. Basically, this is a perl script that can be created by naming it according to the server you attach to (mine is called 'homemount' .) So, copy the following, then go to the unix command line, type pico homemount, do a paste, change the variables appropriately, save and quit, do a 'chmod +x homemount' , and you should be able to load that server with one command. (since it is a bad idea to hard code your server password in, the program prompts you for that)

To add to this great hint, the above examples mount the remote volume as root, and as available to everyone. |
