Mountain Lion Compatibility
Is there any early word on Mountain Lion compatibility for the ReadyNAS models?
System:
Mac Mini running 10.8.2 (previously running 10.7.x, this is an upgrade install of 10.8.x)
Mac Mini is configured to never sleep
ReadyNAS Pioneer Pro running RAIDiator 4.2.21
Single NFS export from ReadyNAS
Flat network through two Netgear 5 port switches (ie all wired, no WiFi)
NFS configured to auto mount using auto_fs with "-host" rule.
Prior to 10.8 this configuration was stable. After updating to 10.8 I get server disconnection errors from the Finder. Other times I get the NFS file operation wedging and never completing but sending iTunes into an unresponsive state. Force-quit of iTunes will immediately raise the server disconnection error.
The iTunes XML library is stored on the Mac Mini's local hard drive. Only the mp3 files are stored on NFS.
Rebooting will often have NFS operations time out. Rebooting with the "/net" line in /etc/auto_master commented out, followed by uncommenting that line and running "sudo automount -vc" to re-read the configuration will allow terminal access to /net/nasname/files to work. Finder access will then work briefly before this problem comes up again.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
PS: I would prefer to avoid having to move this data over to an iSCSI volume on the ReadyNAS. But if that is the only way to get this working I can make that switch. (Edited to add this PS.)
