I don't know how to do that.here's how, per a comment from Apple in a 'discussion' i'd had on the darwin-kernel list ...

This would override any default. re: "future reference" ... i assume you mean that fstab in not currently being used/checked, not that it currently/default is simply empty. yes? > My alternative would be to create the preference file in > /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist with this:
the mod to "com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist", i can verify on Panther 10.3.4, works perfectly.

Ensuring drives/partitions are mounted
I have been using the /etc/fstab method for over a year - through several OS X upgrades and I can verify that it is STILL working in the current 10.3.4. fstab - is still viable in 10.3.4. |
