Can an application set a time-out value for FSResolveAlias /
mount_smbfs to use when trying to resolve an alias to a file on a
network volume which is currently unreachable?

I've tried to use FSMountServerVolumeAsync, for this without any success. The idea was to start the async mount then stop with FSCancelVolumeOperation after the timeout. (see http://lists.apple.com/archives/macnetworkprog/2005/Jan/ msg00026.html)

Now we're using CFHostGetReachability to prevent mounting a volume from an unreachable server. It's a workaround but seems to be working fine.
