Hi everyone...
This is probably not the best forum for this question. If anyone has a
better suggestion of where to ask this please let me know.
One of my applications uses direct networking to read a file on a remote
machine. It mounts the remote user directory as a local volume, and reads
the file:
/Volumes/RemoteUser/Path/File.txt
The problem I am seeing is that in some cases, the volume "RemoteUser"
appears to be mounted as a phantom volume, so the path obtained is:
/Volumes/RemoteUser-1/Path/File.txt
My questions are:
1. what causes this and how can it be avoided? It seems to be more likely
to happen on Leopard
2. how can this be worked around?
3. what to tell users to do if this happens? If this happened to me I would
drop into terminal and RM the phantom volume "alias" file after restarting
and making sure the volume was not actually mounted. I am as you will
understand very reluctant to tell users to do this.
Thanks,
Loren
