I have been trying for some time to work out how to get automounts to work in Tiger. One last plunge into the Google and I came up with this.
[/Users/paul]:: nidump fstab .
shuttle:/usr/local/share/mt-daapd/media /Network/Servers smbfs resvport,net 0 0
That puts a link in /Network/Servers that seems to mount that filesystem (where all my iTunes goodies are kept) automagically. Launching iTunes mounts it just fine.
Read the original link if you can’t work out what’s required.
[update] Well, this almost works ;-( permissions on the mounted volume are not being set properly.
[updated update] Looks like it was all about file ownership and NFS: samba/cifs doesn’t care, or more correctly, takes its cue from the authentication process. it seems to work now.
yourserver:/your/local/path /Network/Servers nfs resvport,net,rw,-i,-P 0 0
