Auto-mount network drive?
I have a Mac Pro running Leopard and a 1TB Buffalo Terastation on my home network. I am able to access with the Terastation from the Mac by going though Finder. To do so, I have to click on the name of the TS on the left side of Finder and then click on the "share" folder in the next column. This mounts the network share as /volumes/share.
This is OK but I currently have my iTunes library on the Buffalo TS. However, if my iPod is already docked before I power up the Mac, iTunes can't find its library because the share isn't mounted. I have to manually make Leopard mount the share by the procedure in the above paragraph.
Is there a way I can get the Mac to auto-mount the network share like I can under Windows or Linux? Since MacOS X is Linux based, can I use the Linux method for auto-mount the share by editing a fstab file?
Any info will be appreciated. I've tried searching and have tried a few tips but haven't got it working yet.
Thanks,
Steven
