AFP auto mount on ReadyNAS startup (OSX 10.5.5)

The lack of share info is due to the way you are selecting the share

You appear to have selected your NAS in the Finder sidebar and then the share that appears in the right pane - that will not show the requested info as Finder considers the share unmounted.

Instead you need to select the mounted share itself from the finder sidebar and then do "Get Info". Alternatively double click on the share and when the shares files/folders are shown in the right finder pane, but without selecting any file/folder, do a "Get Info"

Here I reproduce the issue as confirmation:



Back to your original issue - there are reports of problems with Lion mounting AFP shares via the command line (not just for ReadyNAS users and not all users are affected - Google around for confirmation)

That said, the correct command is:

mount -t afp <source> <destination>

For example:

mount -t afp afp://mynas.local/backup /mnt/backup

I confirmed the above does work for me, though note my NAS is still running 4.2.17
