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...
OK let's try again.
I'm using my MBA to run Win7 in Parallels. The method I am using involves splitting the MBA SSD drive into 2 partitions, one with OSX installed, the other with Win7 installed via Bootcamp.
Once this is setup, I install and run Parallels in OSX. Parallels allows the Bootcamp partition to be accessed from OSX in a really slick method called "Convergence". In this mode, any Win7 app is available from the dock with only 2 mouse clicks.
So to use this, I boot up OSX (no shares loaded by user login) and then run Parallels to select Outlook that is running in Win7. As part of my Bootcamp setup, I have mapped the NAS share where my Outlook .pst file is located onto a Win7 drive that is mounted when Win7 starts. (Normal stuff in a Win7 environment)
All this works fine, but if I let the MBA sleep with the Parallels Win7 VM active, then there is a lag when awakening which I suspect is the Win7 VM reconnecting the mapped NAS share.
Can I avoid this lag if I mount the same NAS share first in OSX at OSX user startup?
UPDATE : Empirical evidence suggests this doesn't solve the problem, but what might be the theoretical answer ?
