Title: Re: Double mounted afp volumes
I’m trying out this as an alternative:
set volumename to "whatever_the_volume_name_is"
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "mkdir /Volumes/" & quoted form of volumename
do shell script "mount -t afp afp://user:password@192.168.0.3/" & quoted form of volumename & " /Volumes/" & quoted form of volumename
end tell
Is anyone mounting volumes this way versus the ‘mount volume’ Applescript command? The only weird thing I saw was that a few times, the volume appears on the desktop as a folder icon instead of a volume icon.
Thanks.
Jim

Conversation: Double mounted afp volumes
Subject: Double mounted afp volumes
I have an existing script which goes through a headstand to mount a volume using afp. This is needed because sometimes the Finder errors while attempting to mount the volume and has to repeat itself until it comes to grips that it is actually mounted.
This script seems to work in Tiger, but in Leopard, it is being blamed for causing ‘ghost volumes’ to be mounted.
For example, users are getting multiple volumes mounted of the same volume. So there is a volume called “Assets” and another volume called “Assets-1”. If you go to the Finder and do “Go To Folder” and view “/Volumes”, one of the volumes is represented as an empty folder while the other volume is actually the real volume.
Has anyone seen this and is there a work-around to it?
Thanks.
