Hello,
I have a list of file paths. These paths may lead to files on unmounted
Volumes. How can I programmatically tell the OS to mount the volume before I
try to access the file?
I know this is possible somehow, as iTunes appears to do it. For example, if
I initiate playback of a song located on an unmounted network attached
volume in iTunes, the volume is mounted automatically for me.
Is the OS supposed to mount the volume automatically for me if I attempt to
open the file programmatically at the specified path? In my testing, it
appears the answer is no. Or do I need to mount the drive manually using the
Disk Arbitration framework or something similar?
If I need to use the Disk Arbitration framework, can you cite sample code?
P.S.: I listed this question on stackoverflow at [1] about a month ago with
no response. Decided to try here as well.
