Hi Michael
Thanks for the explanation about the phantom mount directory.
Forcing an rm of the directory has solved the problem on this machine
The problem I have is that I am using
file:///Volumes/Drive/Folder/File style URLs to pass pointers to
files over a network connection. When I use CFURL to resolve a URL
like:
file:///Volumes/G4_HD/folder/file
As you can see, this is an inherently fragile way to do things. Even without
the bug discussed above, I can't recommend this as a way to go.
We need to pass around a file specification via TCP/IP between
various different applications working on the same file from
different computers. The file spec also has to go through an asset
management system which needs to store the location as (unicode)
text, then pop out the other side and be picked up again.
What better mechanism would you recommend instead to identify a file
which resides on a shared volume in a workgroup ?.
Cheers
Mark
