Hello again,

A continuation of the previous post searching for some way to have a
remote disk automount in OS 10.4...

Set up NFS on the server.  I can mount the disk perfectly from the
Terminal "mount_nfs <remote> <mount-point>".  I can ls the contents of
the remote disk from the Terminal.  As soon as I mount the remote disk,
however, the mount point (which had been just an empty folder)
disappears completely from the finder, making the remote disk
inaccessible from the Finder though it is perfectly visible using Unix
commands in the Terminal.

I tried making an entry in the NetInfo manager to have the NFS
automount, but what an awfull cryptic application.  I have no idea if
the entry is correct (give me a text file please).

Also tried fiddling with Automator --> Run Shell Script to simply run
the mount_nfs and umount commands, this works but as with the command
line no Remote disk in the Finder.

I have had to change what is a relatively simple setup 3 times now
because of random semi-documented changes in subsequent versions of OSX.
If any of you have any tips, or know of a list better suited for these
kinds of questions I am all ears...

Thanks,

Press Appl-K to set up a network drive while in the finder and the
syntax is as follows:

nfs://servername/sharename

hmm..we automount all sorts of stuff here on 10.3 and 10.4. Do you have
an /etc/auto.map file or anything like that?  i did not personally set
this up, but it looks like we are running as such:

%ps axuww | grep auto
root     229   0.0  0.2    29472    812  ??  Ss   Thu08PM   0:15.95
/usr/sbin/automount -f -m /net /etc/auto.map -mnt /private/net
<snipped some long lines>
%

our /etc/auto.map file looks as so:

mountpoint	server:/exported/volume

Hi Robert,

Thanks.

I failed to mention that I tried this also but I get a failed to connect
to server because the name or password is incorrect.  This is using
exactly the same address and user which works flawlessly from the
commandline...  and nfs doesn't use usernames, just IP's for
verification (which is why I prefered to use the old appletalk, even
thought the passwords are in cleartext).

Thanks for these great leads.

I am defn. happier on the command line, just not too used to the OSX
specialness.  I've got meetings until tonight, but will let you all know
of my progress.

I've had that problem too. My conclusion, Tiger cannot mount Linux NFS
partitions (through the finder command-k interface), but it has no problem
with a FreeBSD NFS server.

no, that's no true.  I've been mounting linux/netapp/isolan/emc/*bsd
exported nfs volumes on OSX for some time now via static mounts and
auto.map files.

If you could help me work that out I'd be grateful...

now in tiger 10.4.4, finder command-k interface says, "Could
not connect to the server because the name or password is not
correct. TryAgain/Cancel"

The server address was listed as:
nfs://sta.duo/usr/nfs/sandbox

and that name does indeed resolv to the linux box.

I don't much appreciate the netinfo interface but I poked around
there to see any "wrong" entries, maybe something is missing but
I don't see anything incorrect. I don't think the answer is there
because I did a reinstall this fall, and I've not tried mucked
with it since.

Before and after the reinstall I could finder/nfs FreeBSD
partitions; but they are not available ATM to check.

Hmm, that would strike me as odd.

Just a wild, wild guess: does command-k try to mount without the '-P'
option, and does your NFS server require mount requests to come from a
privileged port?

Good guess Jan,

I came across this as I was reading about what could be causing my
ailments.  I have already added 'insecure' to the options in nfsd.conf
on the server which should start it on a port above 1024 (makes me think
that I should actually check this).  This did not change anything.  I
can test the OSX 10.4 vs. FreeBSD vs. Linux hypothesis when I get home
tonight as I have all three systems ready to go.

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't responded sooner.  After lots of futzing around I can
confirm that George is correct.  FreeBSD NFS works.  Linux does not.

Oh yeah baby.  http://destruc.tv/images/minitosh/initaltestfit.jpg

While that makes it all the more funny, it makes it a hell of a
lot more useful than what I first thought it was... ahem, OS X on
a floppy in 1MB RAM ;)

Subject: [macosx-unix] hosed RAID -> disk warrior to the rescue?
Message-ID: <20060301003530.GA21324@netmeister.org>

Hi all,

I have the following scenario:

An XRaid is connected to a SAN switch.
An Xserve is connected to the same SAN switch.
A Solaris machine is connected to the same SAN switch.

The xserve creates a filesystem on the XRaid (RAID 5) and populates it
with data.

The solaris machine access the same disk through the SAN fabric and
creates a new disklabel on the disk, then creates a new filesystem on it
via newfs, then copies some data onto it.  (Obviously not intentionally,
but that's another story.)

The xserve still shows data on the disk, but some of it appears lost.

The xserve is rebooted and then doesn't recogize the disk anymore.
diskutil shows it as

/dev/disk3
   #:                   type name               size      identifier
   0:  GUID_partition_scheme                    *2.2 TB   disk3
   1: 6A85CF4D-1DD2-11B2-99A6-08002073                    128.0 MB disk3s1
   2: 6A87C46F-1DD2-11B2-99A6-08002073                    128.0 MB disk3s2
   3: 6A898CC3-1DD2-11B2-99A6-08002073                    2.2 TB disk3s7
   4: 6A945A3B-1DD2-11B2-99A6-08002073                    8.0 MB disk3s9

(which is the solaris partition table)

Obviously, mounting it fails:
$ mount /dev/disk3s7 /mnt3
/dev/disk3s7 on /mnt3: Incorrect super block.

One of the disks in the RAID is removed and reinserted, causing a
rebuild of the RAID 5.  The rebuild is still running, so we don't know
yet whether or not the rebuild will rebuild the solaris partition table
or the older apple table.  (It should rebuild the solaris partition
table, but we'll wait and see anyway.)

Most of the data stored on the disks should still be there, but is no
longer available from the Mac, as the partition table is different and
it can't find the right superblocks.

Does anybody know if DiskWarrior might be able to salvage whatever data
is still available on the disk?  Or if there are other applications?
Or, if none of the above, what kind of data recovery services are
available in the city and how they might charge (rough estimates)?
