JESSE! JASON!
I've invested enough time trying to figure this out. I know can I get it with a few more hours of hacking but....
I want to get automount (or even mount) to mount one or more shares on my HP Media server to my Mac so, among other things, I can have kmttg and pytivo automatically have access to access the tivo files and other video files.
My black box HP Media Server is not so cleverly named Blackie. I can mount the shares as Windows shares.
When I mount the share with tivo files in it manually using Finder I end up with:
Actually the tivo files are in ../RECORDED TV/tivo but I can grok that.
Besides not yet having figured the right syntax to mount or automount my dilemma is the usual of how to escape the embedded space in the path. Single quotes are not working.
I gather from reading the man pages that what I want is make an entry in /etc/fstab for automount to use.
Something like:
??? There is no mount_cifs or cifs type.
Even though I now longer do it directly for my living, I've got Unix sysadmin experience going back 20+ years but in my old age I'd appreciate a hint because I've spent enough of my life hacking at solutions to stuff like this by now.
I'd appreciate a hint from the gurus!
I've been pointed to mountwatcher but paying $20 for something that should be doable for free in Unix is way too Mac-think for me to abide. Another 8 hours or so of hacking will save me the $20. (Hmmmm..... Am I worth $2 an hour?)
