Hi Brian, "noauto" works. "" is default. On Jun 11, 2004, at 12:03 PM, Brian Bergstrand wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dan, The UUID/fstab setup has worked for me since 10.3.x. I have four volumes setup this way to mount on /Users, /usr/local and too disable auto-mounting for the other two UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /usr/local hfs rw 0 2 UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Users hfs rw 0 2 UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Volumes/Data hfs rw,noauto 0 2 UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Volumes/Users hfs rw,noauto 0 2 The trick is, that you have to duplicate this info in NetInfo /mounts for it to actually work. Then use nidump to create the fstab file: sudo nidump fstab / > /etc/fstab Now that the info is in both fstab and NetInfo things work fine on 10.3.x (and 10.2.x). It would be nice if NetInfo didn't need a copy, but that's no big deal. Is that the oversight you were talking about?

The volume is on a disk marked external, which on a Client install, does not get mounted until someone logs in. You should be seeing it mount at boot on a Server install just fine, by contrast. There are two ways to have it mount at boot. The first one, also the ideal one, is unfortunately not working in 10.3.x due to an oversight on our part. I mention it only for future reference. It would be to list the volume in question by UUID in /etc/fstab along with the "auto" option. This would override any default.
