Automoun AFP Share at Boot

[gw1500se]

I have a server that needs RW access to a share on my XSAN. I can manually authenticate and mount the share from the file server but I cannot find anything that tells me how to mount it at boot automatically. All I can find is how to mount it at login which doesn’t help. Thanks.

Well, assuming this is 10.4 or higher you can create a launchd item that will run at start up regardless of who logs into the machine if you put the agent in /Libarary/LaunchDaemons and then use launchctl to load it. Autofs will still parse entries in /etc/fstab so you can always put them in there as well, but I have had mixed results with this method when I have tried it myself.
