AFP auto mount on ReadyNAS startup (OSX 10.5.5)
Hi there Is it possible to get some of the shares automatically mounted, when the NAS ist started up? Or even better as soon as the ReadyNas is visible in the Finder? This would also allow me to conn...
I have created aliases to my two mounts. Once mounted with the mounts displayed on my desktop, I added them to my login items. Works a treat when the ReadyNAS is powered on and I login to my OSX account.
What fails is when the ReadyNAS is booted (scheduled to shut down every night and power up every morning), the ReadyNAS (CIMS & AFP) appear under the Finder "SHARED" items but the Shares do not mount. When I try to mount using the Aliases, I receive a connection error (takes about a minute to get the error).
When this occurs I go to my ReadNAS Admin URL and stop and start the AFP service, then [re-]select the aliases and I'm back in business. So it would seem that there's something hokey about broadcasting the AFP service after a shutdown/restart of the ReadyNAS - remember ReadyNAS shows up under "SHARED" items in Finder but choosing the Aliases does not work.
Sure, Bonjour Mounter sounds like it might be a solution but it's feels to me like a workaround to a NetGear problem.
Thoughts anyone?
