AppleTalk mounts
Authored by: Hes Nikke on Mar 16, '02 05:49:57AM
wile working on a differnt tip (to be submitted later) i found that you can: a) mount without sudo b) mout apple talk volumes with
%mount_afp afp:/at/name:password@ServerName/Share ~/afptemp
i also found that the finder does some realy screwy things if you mount to a folder that was already there. if you click on that folder (wich has magicly turned into an alias!) it complains about not beaing able to find the thing about %50 of the time! also any aliases that point into said folder brake and wind up pointing to aparently random locations in your file system. lastly symbolic lings that point into said folder don't work at all within the finder :-/ after i unmount other stange things happen, some times the folder (wich is now back to a folder!) some times is back to normal and some times points to an aparently random location in your file system untill you rename said folder!! basicly, the Mac OS X finder doesn't quite like this cool unixism....

resetting AppleTalk mounts
Authored by: dhed on May 16, '02 07:53:25PM

After running the command outlined above, I found that everytime I go to mount the volume, it appears listed in /Volumes, but I can't see it in the Finder. And this is after using the Finder to mount it! I have to umount and then rm the remaining directory to get rid of it too. I really don't want to have to go through all the trouble of running Terminal commands to just puruse an AppleTalk volume. Is there any way to set this back to the way it was? I have looked all over for some pref to delete...

Hated to do it, but I restarted and the mount point problem went away. :-(
