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...
As the error states there is no path /mnt - and your other commands seem to be creating folders in the root of your OSX filesystem eg /Music rather than as /mnt/Music or wherever you want to mount your shares
Are you familiar with creating a folder structure with subfolders?
The command I gave you was an *example* that must be adapted to your setup which is unique to you (and why I suggested you learn more to understand the command rather than continuing as you are)
In that last example I mounted the nas share so that it appears as the folder /mnt/Share on your mac, as stated "presuming that /mnt/Share already exists"
So create the mount point ( ie folder) where you want the share to appear and then adapt the mount command based on the syntax:
mount -t afp source destination
Where source is the nas share (beginning afp://) and destination is the folder on your mac where you want the share to appear. Eg /Music or /mnt/Music or wherever makes sense for you
