I've got a little AppleScript application we use here for mounting home
spaces on our NetApp server. That server only supports SMB connections.
So, when the app runs it checks what OS version is running and fires off the
appropriate script using the command "system attribute "sysv"" to determine
the OS version.
If the machine is running 10.3.0 or later it uses "mount volume".
If the machine is running 10.2.x or earlier it uses "open location".
I noticed that the "sysv" version on my 10.2.8 machine had changed to a
higher number. So, I changed it in the script to reflect that so it would
use the appropriate command. Suddenly it wouldn't work in 10.2.8! After
about a half day of troubleshooting I figured out that in the version of
10.2.8 I'm running the "open location" command doesn't work for mounting SMB
volumes anymore and the "mount volume" command suddenly does!
I actually prefer using "mount volume" so it's not an unwelcome change but
it certainly caught me by surprise.
When did this change take place? Anyone know? And where can I find
documentation about such changes so I don't waste half a day doing this
again?
Thanks!
