Yes, that's intersting : things have changed with Panther. But maybe
the list disks command should have changed too to ensure the
compatiblity between the two systems...
Thanks Thomas

Because there are now (at least...) two different mechanisms for
mounting
volumes.
I don't know the real reasons behind the differences, but the results
are
obvious enough. For example, if I type in "afp:/at/server_name:*" in
the "Go
to server..." box, I get a disk visible on the desktop and ejectable
from
the Finder window sidebar, and listed in /Volumes.
But if I *browse* to the same server, through "Local", and
double-click to
connect, it doesn't show on the Desktop or the Finder window sidebar,
and
can only be ejected from its icon in the "Local" folder, and isn't
listed in
/Volumes
The first shows in console.log as:
Dec 11 10:15:45 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_mount:
/Volumes/server_name,
pid 24028
The second as:
Dec 11 10:17:27 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_mount:
/private/var/automount/Network/Local/server_name/share_point, pid 3252
/private/var/automount/Network/Local/ appears to be a list of available
servers. From the Terminal you can
ls /private/var/automount/Network/Local/server_name
...to get a list of mounted shares.
Can anyone else explain *why* there are these differences? I'm
guessing it
starts with the Rendezvous/AFP discovery process, but don't see why the
final connection method should be different.
