Bonjour published NFS shares do not show in Finder

In Mac OSX 10.4, Finder did properly discover NFS, AFP and SMB bonjour published services. In 10.5 it seems only AFP published shares show up.
I used avahi for Linux and nfs.tcp as service type. This configuration worked fine in Tiger.
Does anybody know of any Finder.plist setting or something else that should enable finder to discover NFS shares again?
For the mean time (since I consider it a real bug) I wrote my own Ruby script daemon using DNSSD to look up all bonjour published NFS services and the mount them.
I can publish this script here if anybody is interested. It actually uses the new Ruby DNSSD package of Leopard.

I assume this is the option that you are having the issue with.
When in this mode, have you clicked on the GREEN button in the upper left hand corner?

  • New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

    Problem statement
    When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
    of the parent.
    I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
    However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
    1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in  Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
    location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
    2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
    Can an Example be provided?
    3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    and is there an Example available.
    Scenario:
    Windows Server 2012 Standard
    File Server (Role)
    +- Server for NFS (Role) << -- installed
    General --
    Folder path: F:\Shares\raid-6-array

    I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
    1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
    it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
    by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
    "inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
    This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
    2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
    [-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
    Here are the pertinent statements -
    "In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
    "Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
    The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
    only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
    not have inheritance set."
    "So
    If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
    3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
    4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
    User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
    To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
    Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
    5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
    6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
    Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
    7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
    Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
    files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
    Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
    8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
    reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

    Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

  • Hard disk does not show in finder

    WE had a system failure with our server instance a month back and since then, one of my internal HD's will not show in finder. It's also causing carbon copy pro to fail when trying to find it. I have verified it can be seen in the disk utility and from a terminal prompt. I rant this to confirm:
    { diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | open -f -a TextEdit  
    No matter what I do, i cannot see it. Verify and repair in disk util come up saying it's okay. I have selected show HDD's in finder preferences. A possibly related side effect is that my users, who can browse this over the network, cannot search in the directory.
    Any help you can lend would be helpful.

  • USB External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop

    I have two USB external drives from the same manufacturer. One is for regular storage, the second is for Time Machine and movies.
    The first one shows everywhere, on the desktop, in finder and in Disk Utility.
    The second drive shows in Disk Utility only. However, it is functioning fine with Time Machine. So it is mounted. I have tried several repairs, and it reports no fault found. So it is certainly functioning correctly, but a setting or error in the operating system is not allowing it to be viewed in finder, or on the desktop.
    Any suggestions.

  • Please can kind person help me with uploading photos, not showing in finder!

    Hello dear Apple users,
    Please can any kindly souls offer advice at this busy time... I am trying to create a last-minute personalised gift for a beloved brother but have not yet succeeded in uploading my photos from this page:
    http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/estore/design/51?tid=26342844-7e27-4d27-a0ab-b841175 00ac2
    I know it should be easy but when I hit upload and select my "photos" from drop down menu on left, there all my photos except the ones I carefully edited, saved and flagged in iPhoto earlier this evening- I  have checked in iPhoto and they are still there, all flagged etc but not showing in finder. (grr!)
    So I opened menu from iPhoto and clicked "make visible in Finder" option, saved them with distinctive names but they are still not coming up when I search those file names..
    Please what else can I do?

    You never access your photos in iPhoto using the finder - the iPhoto application totally replaces the finder for photos when you use it - you can select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (see Exporting From iPhoto for export options) or you use the media browser available in every open/upload/attach window on the  left under media==> photos ==> iPhoto - see How to Access Files in iPhoto for more details

  • Custom NFS share point directory showing up on all network machines

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of migrating our 10.4 PowerMac server to a Mac Pro (running 10.5). I've been trying to recreate our 10.4 server setup as much as possible and so far I've only come across one annoying issue.
    We have fink installed on the server and under our 10.4 setup the /sw directory was set up as an NFS automounted share point with a custom mount point of '/sw'. I.e. users logging into client machines saw a /sw directory and could work with that. This made it easier to add fink packages as I only needed to do this on one machine (the server). This setup worked very well under 10.4 and had been working stably for the last couple of years.
    As we now have (for another month or two at least) a mix of intel and Power PC machines, I don't want to share out the (intel) server version of fink to all clients. In Server Admin, I have chosen to set the NFS protocol options to specify the IP address of just one client (an intel machine). I am only using NFS to share this directory. The plan is to add more client IP addresses as we get more intel machines.
    This works for the one intel client machine. Logging in via the GUI or via ssh allows you to run programs located under the /sw directory. The problem is that a phantom /sw directory appears on all client machines, even though their IP addresses are not specified in Server Admin. The /sw directory has root/wheel permissions (for user/group) and attempting to list its contents returns 'Operation not permitted' (even with 'sudo ls /sw').
    If I use Directory Utility to remove the connection to the Directory server on our main server, then the /sw directory becomes owned by root/admin and I can remove it (it appears empty). Reconnecting to the Directory Server changes the permissions back to root/wheel. It is also worth noting that when I first installed fink on the server (in /sw) the act of making this a share point also changed the permissions on /sw to root/wheel meaning that I couldn't access the fink programs that I had only just installed (this forced me to reinstall fink in /Volumes/Data/fink).
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior? It almost seems like Server Admin is not honoring the list of IP addresses that are being listed as targets for client machines. I had planned to install fink locally on the PowerPC clients until we upgrade them to intel machines. However, I would then also have to install fink somewhere other than /sw as I can't write to that directory. I would presume that this behavior should happen on any NFS share point that is trying to automount to a custom mount point on a client. Can anyone else verify this?
    Regards,
    Keith

    As a footnote. I have now removed my shared fink installation. It is no longer listed as an NFS sharepoint in Server Admin and running the 'showmount -e' command does not list it. However, a /sw directory is still being created on the server and on the client machines on our network.
    This is perplexing and frustrating. There is no sharepoint any more. I rebooted the server but it makes no difference. I removed the /sw directory (on the server) by booting the machine in target firewire mode and removing it by using a 2nd machine. But following the restart, it appeared again.
    This suggests that once you make any custom mountpoint (using NFS sharing) then you will forever be stuck with a directory at the root level of all your clients which you can not remove.

  • Files saved to NFS share by MS word cause finder to loose sync w/filesystem

    I am posting this bug report(#4699323, opened Aug 24th, 2006) I have open with Apple because there is no indication that they have even noticed it. Please reply if you have similar problems, questions, or suggestions. Bug report follows.
    24-Aug-2006 04:17 PM Erik Meitner:
    Summary:
    Files saved to an NFS volume by Microsoft Word dissappear from the Finder. Many times "Ghosted" icons of "Word Work Files" are left behind.
    Steps to Reproduce & Actual Results:
    1. Mount an NFS volume from a server(Mac or Linux, doesn't matter. NFS options do not matter.) from the Finder or command line.
    2. Open a Finder window to the mount point.
    3. Create a word document(test.doc), save to the NFS mount point.
    4. Make sure both the Word window and Finder window are visible.
    5. Type a single letter, Save.
    6. "Word Work File L_200098113"(the number varies.) apears and test.doc dissapears from the folder. Then the icon for "Word Work File L_200098113" goes "ghosted" (test.dc IS still there, just not shown. You can verify this in the shell )
    7. Type a letter, Save.
    8. The work file dissapears and is replaces by "Word Work File L_200098113"
    9. Rinse, Repeat ad infinitum.
    Expected Results:
    File saved & Finder does NOT get out of sync with the filesystem.
    Regression:
    * Only happens on NFS volumes.
    * Only happens with MS Word.
    * It happens on Panther(10.3.9) and Tiger(up to 10.4.7)
    * "Fast saves" in Word has no effect.
    * The user has full access to the root of the NFS volume.(a .TemporaryItems folder IS being created)
    * Verified that problem happens with all Versions of Office 2004 from 11.2.3 to 11.2.6(current).
    * Happens with ALL users: admin, local, and non-local(LDAP authenticated, network homes).
    Notes:
    * The work files(with "ghosted" icons) never show up when listing the folder via the CLI.
    * The original(test.doc) always shows in the CLI.
    * Relaunching the Finder usually causes the "missing" files to show again, but not always.
    * Problem is exacerbated by users losing faith in the system, thus saving very frequently, guaranteeing that the problem will always happen.
    * Only workaround is to have users work on files "off the network" on a local disk.

    Relaunching the Finder will restore the icons to the proper state most of the time. One can also use this application to force a refresh of a folders contents: http://www.brockerhoff.net/nudge/index.html
    I am not sure of the internal workings of "Nudge", but it does seem to be the best hack available to get the Finder to work properly.
    01-Sep-2006 08:48 AM Erik Meitner:
    I should also add that this problem is repeatable on 15 different Macs of different models, all running 10.3.9 with the latest updates.
    11-Sep-2006 12:41 PM Erik Meitner:
    Problem is repeatable on all 6 of our Machines running Tiger(10.4.7) with all the latest updates.
    20-Sep-2006 02:25 PM Erik Meitner:
    The "Nudge" tool mentioned previously does not always work especially for some users who experience this problem the worst. It will only restore the file to a "ghosted" icon that is still inaccessable.
    Moving the file to a different folder and deleting the resource fork file is the only solution in this case.

    OS X 10.4.8 update has not altered the behavior of this bug. The Office 2004 11.30 update seems to have caused the problem to happen less frequently. I would say it now happens half as frequently.
