Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with the mount volume command in
Tiger?
The following script works perfectly in Panther (actually, has worked
well
since 9.0.4 . . .)
set diskList to (list disks)
if diskList does not contain "Common" then
mount volume "afp://" & useName & ":" & usePass &
"@ourserver.domainname/Common"
end if
if diskList does not contain "Output" then
mount volume "afp://" & useName & ":" & usePass &
"@ourserver.domainname/Output"
end if
I don't have problems with the mount volume command on tiger.
And my code looks similar to yours.
As a precaution I would avoid the use of operators (&) in an argument.
Mount volume needs a string as argument.
The & operator's result can be string, list or record,
depending on the operand to the left of the & operator.
set urlString to "afp://" & useName & ":" & usePass &
"@ourserver.domainname/Common"
-- now it is easy to check the arguments for mount volume before using
them
-- return urlString
-- return class of urlString
mount volume urlString
And so forth for the many volumes my editors mount from our XServe.
In Tiger, the results are extremely flaky. Usually, the first
referenced
volume will mount, but the next volumes in the list don't. When I wrap
the
mount volume command in a try statement, I get the following returned
as
the error message and number:
"Disk some object wasn't found" -35 Hence, the volumes aren't being
found
for some bizarre reason. I've checked network connectivity, so that's
not
the issue.
Even more strange: Sometimes all of the volumes mount perfectly.
There seems no rhyme or reason or pattern to this. However, usually the
script fails to mount all of the volumes.
Anyone have thoughts/workarounds on this?
Thanks,
Jim
