Mounting NFS home directory error, please help!
Hello everyone,
We are working on setting up a network of Macs to a Linux server. The server is running NFS / NIS to authenticate, all the users have their home directories on the server and do not have any local accounts on any of the computers.
We have a problem getting the home dirs automounted on the local computers. The users need their home folder set correctly to import settings and so on, and the home folders are stored on the server.
We can connect to the NFS servers, we can get the computers to log in with NIS accounts, we can manually access their restricted info once we manually mount the NFS drive.
However, we cannot get the home folders to mount in the home directory, automounted. We have one working macintosh computer running Apple Os X 1.5, but we cannot get it to work on Snow Leopard ( 1.6 ).
Did anything change in permissions or in the way Mac OS X handles NFS shares or automounting in the update to 1.6, Snow Leopard? Does anyone have any experience handling NFS/NIS mounting in Apple Mac OS X 1.6?

Hello everyone!
Even if I posted this recently, we had been working on it for two days. However, we just defeated this beast and managed to solve it!
It turned out to be simple, as it often is:
We changed /etc/auto_home to manually provide the IP of the NFS server with a wildcard (*) for users, & for username, then commented out the normal +auto_home.
The server was already set up to allow the computers to access everything.
The problem was, in short, that mac OS X has a dedicated slot for mounting in /home and thus you can't mount anything else there unless you replace the normal /etc/auto_home

Reshare mounted NFS Home Directory
Hi there,
I have a XServe with Leopard Server 10.5.8 installed.
Open Directory works fine, I mean users are known through the network and they can log on every computer with ssh, their home directory is well automounted by clients. Their home dirs are stored locally on the server.
I would try something new in order to win space:
1. create user dirs locally on the clients
2. export them on the network
3. mount them through NFS or AFP on the server and reshare it on the network as user dir.
item 1. is done : the local user get the uid and gid of the network user, permissions are OK on his home dir.
item 2. is OK : via NFS
item 3. seems OK because I mkdir /AFP-Users where I mount via NFS remote user dir (e.g. bob). Then I export /AFP-Users as automatic Users Home Dirs in addition to /Volumes/External/User where native OD accounts are.
I have specified in OD that Home dir of bob is nfs://server/AFP-Users/bob.
It works fine if I make a su - bob on the server : files are here and bob is able to write.
bob is able to ssh on every computer on the network, no error msg on login but no files! And no permissions to write.
If someone has an idea...
Thanks,
joeHello,
in the meantime, I have looked for Internet for my solution, nobody speaks about this precise problem.
I tried to simply mount AFP directory from a client to another, but unable to have permissions on the Terminal because the owner of the mounted AFP is local admin instead of the OD user...
I would very appreciate if anyone has an beginning of an idea.
Thanks,

Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Hi,
I have the following set up:
* Lenovo T-61p
* Windows XP Pro, SP 3
* HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
I am getting the following error:
Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in. In my case, this is drive E. I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions? Or know what the real root of the problem is? What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input. -

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
