I'd have to look into your code to know for certain what's going wrong, but your raising a few red flags.

In particular, your spawning a new thread and then (from the sound of it) doing one FSMountServerVolumeAsync per thread. That sounds very odd. If your going to go to the trouble of creating a separate thread, why not just call FSMountServerVolumeSync? Are you creating a runLoop in your thread for your callbacks to fire on? Is the -50 error coming from FSMountServerVolumeAsync directly, or when your callback fires? You said this was working in one thread- why are you moving to multiple threads?

PS. Officially I'm on vacation, so I'll apologize in advance if you don't get timely responses. Sometimes a man just needs a little RR in the great outdoors.

I have an application where I'm trying to mount multiple volumes in
their own thread using FSMountServerVolumeAsync(). The application is
Cocoa-based. So, I use:

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(mountResource:)
toTarget:self withObject:aResource]

to spawn each thread. The call to FSMountServerVolumeAsync() looks like this:

Result = FSMountServerVolumeAsync((CFURLRef)urlOfVolumeToMount, NULL,
(CFStringRef)[aResource username], (CFStringRef)[aResource password],
volumeOp, aResource, 0, mountUPP, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(),
CFSTR("MyMountMode"));

As you can tell, I'm using a callback. It handles certain aspects of
what is returned. When, I have only one thread, things work fine; the
callback is called and the volume is mounted. When I have more than
one volume to mount (ergo, more than one thread is calling
FSMountServerVolumeAsync()) varying results are produced. For example,
the return code from FSMountServerVolumeAsync() might be -50. Or there
might be an exception (EXC_BAD_ACCESS) in one of the functions that
FSMountServerVolumeAsync() calls (e.g. TAFPSession::AFPLogout).

Has anyone had success using FSMountServerVolumeAsync() in this manner?

Is there a better approach to FSMountServerVolumeAsync()'s usage?

Thanks,
Matt

P.S. Jim Luther suggest that I post here instead of the macnetworkprog list.
