MACUPDATE SYMBOLIC LINKER MAC

Fedora Linux handles this perfectly as I already mentioned. So, in the end what can I do aside from adding the mount to login items? Windows also does this easily, it is completely transparent there. I want to replicate this behavior on OSX. I can click again and there is no indication of a reconnection with the server. Using the Gnome file manager I can select the folder where my share is mounted, and with a very small (almost non-existent) delay, all the files are shown. On my Fedora Linux machine, I added a mount line to /etc/fstab which mounts the same shares whenever I login. I understand it still needs constant communication with the server, but how do I at least minimize this delay? The main issue is that every time the server is selected in Finder, there is a delay while the computer reconnects. So, with the two methods I've already tried I get a server mounted which can be seen from Finder. This is not giving me a persistent connection. Basically I want it to be completely transparent to the user if possible.įirst of all, I have already added an SMB mount to the users login items, as well as essentially doing the same with automator. I need to have a Windows share mounted persistently, and this has become a problem.

The company uses many Mac computers (mostly running 10.6.X) and has a central Windows server to host files and software. I am a long time Linux user who has just taken a job doing some basic IT work for a small company. Now for posterity's sake, my original post: Now every time I click STORAGE it brings me right to the files without any reconnecting.

Then, in a finder window I can drag 'n drop the STORAGE link to the devices pane on the left. $ ln -s /Volumes/STORAGE /Users/ME/STORAGE I don't know why my searches didn't point this out, but it was as simple as creating a symbolic link (alias in OSX terms) to the share. Well, I was able to solve my own issue shortly after posting this message.
