Remove redundant Nautilus icons for NFS shares?

I have 3 NFS shares being mounted via x-systemd.automount in fstab. Everything is working fine with the shares except that Nautilus is showing redundant icons. Mounts are appearing under Devices and also Network. I would like to remove one set of icons. Any ideas?

See if anything I said here helps you... I had this problem years ago, but I don't use the NFS methods anymore regarding "Data". I am multi-seated now, so no longer share anything except the pacman stuff to the computer at the TV. I only use that computer to stream TV shows, so no user information is necessary. My conclusion was that as long as the NFS mount was outside the home folder, the "problem" did not exist.

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

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"

CM Repository for NFS share

Hello,
We are on EP 7.0 sp14 (windows) and currently have several CM repositories pointing to external Windows File shares.
Is it possible to point CM Repository to NFS share?
Thanks,
Alex
Edited by: Alex Trosman on Jan 13, 2009 10:14 PM

Hi Ramalakshmi,
you are using a CM Repository in FSDB Mode. Am I right? If so, check the following:
1. Did you configure your Network Path? The specified user should have full access to the resource.
2. Did you configure the Root Directory? Note: The Root Directory in your Repository Manager mustn't point to the same directory of your network path!!
3. Did you configure the Root Directory for Versions? Note: The Root Directory for Versions mustn't be a subfolder of your Root Directory!! Must point to a folder which contains the subfolders "versions, workingresources, workspaces, wastebasket"!
4. Persistence Mode must be set to "FSDB"
5. Windows Landscape System must be the same as your Network Path.
Hope this helps and will solve your issue.
Best regards,
Denis

How do I remove expand / collapse icon for JTree empty folders

Hi
I am using a JTree as a file system browser. I use DefaultMutableTreeNode nodes.
I have a problem with empty folders.
Empty folders show the expand / collapse icon, leading the user to believe there are sub-directories. When the user double-clicks the folder, the expand / collapse icon goes away. This is a "haha-gotcha" glitch that I really don't want my users to have to continually deal with.
So, how might I get my JTree to not show the expand / collapse icon for empty folders?
Thanks
Wayne

Maybe I can use the FileSystemView isTraversable(File f) method in my TreeCellRenderer class to check if anything is in the directory.
But I still need to know how to disable the expand / collapse icon for such a node.

Remove the unique icon for movie files

In Finder, I get a custom icon for each movie file that is the first frame of the movie. That doesn't help me, so I want to change it to only show the QuickTime image as a custom icon. This is the behavior of Tiger and it was useful to me. I don't get any benefit out of seeing the first frame. I get a benefit out of instantly knowing it is a movie file. Please reply if you know how to revert Leopard to using the application icon rather than the first frame image as the document icon.

Progress? I think not. Anyone know a hack to make the Finder show app icon for all files at once?
Open a Finder window, go to Macintosh HD (or whatever the boot volume is called in your system), click the little gear icon/button, and select "Show View Options", then un-tick "Show icon preview", and click on the "Use as Defaults" button (if this button is not active, select a different option from the Arrange drop-down menu, and it will activate).

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Removing desktop icon of NFS mounted drive

Hi,
I have an NFS mounted drive (on a linux server) on my mac mini, running OS 10.4. I don't want the icon to appear on the desktop. Is there any way to remove this?
The reason is as follows:
- the NFS mounted directory is of the form servername:/home which contains home directories for all the students. This is mounted to /Volumes/servername. The students home directories are set to /Volumes/servername/userid. Thus, in the finder, their home directory shows up correctly, and they can browse their network files.
- However, /Volumes/servername is shown as a mounted disk icon on the desktop, and if students open this, they get a list of everyone's home directories, which they have to scroll through to reach their own home directory. This gives them immediate access to other people's home directories. Granted, these should all be locked and inaccessable to them, but if anyone has messed up their permissions, everyone will instantly be able to see that there is no red X by the home directory, and they can browse in.
- I realise people can browse in anyway, through the Finder, but its just nice not to make it quite so obvious to them.
So... any ideas on how to remove this desktop icon? Note that it needs to be removed for all users (a hundred or so students, logging in through LDAP).
Thanks!
Richard Grant
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have figured this out now...
If you mount the directories at the point /home (or at least ask it to - in fact it mounts it somewhere in /private) then the desktop icon is not displayed by default.

Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

I have several NFS shares from my home server that I mount using fstab. I am running a fully up to date installation of Gnome 3.12. However, as my subject indicates, my NFS shares appear under both Devices and Network in Nautilus. I've done some searching and not found much about this. It is redundant and most importantly space wasting to have two lists of the same entries. Is there a way I can eliminate this duplication? Thanks.
Here is what I'm using in fstab to mount the shares:
nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,hard,intr,user 0 0

I indicated that I was trying to mount several NFS shares off my home server. I should have mentioned that these are NOT NFSv4 shares. Originally, I had the mount points inside my home folder. I've since moved them in the /mnt directory and don't have duplicate entries. Well, I don't have any entries under either Network or Devices. I've made links to the directories where the NFS shares are mounted. I was more curious if this was a bug with Nautilus or my own error as having the mount points in my home directory with other file browsers such as Dolphin in KDE did not yield duplicate entries with the same fstab mount options.
I guess the long and short of it is that if you are using Nautilus, have your NFS mount points outside your home folder.
Thanks.

Configuring an NFS Share for CDM (SGD 4.6 on Linux)

hello all,
i'm not able to access local drive from apps because i don't create /smb on the server, as specified in the doc 821-1926.pdf.
My question is:
- is it mandatory to have a nfs share on the SGD server?
Users just need to load local files into published apps, not to access remote files.
Thanks in advance for help,
gerard

Yes, I it is mandatory.
Note: The /smb share must be configured on the application server and not the SGD server (unless the server is performing both roles).
You must also install the SGD enhancement module on the application server and, after configuring the NFS share, you need to start the CDM component of the Enhancement Module as described in the doc.
The CDM component of the enhancement module presents the NFS share as an SMB share to the SGD server, and without this you will not be able to access local drives.

DNS Fails for NFS Server Shares

When I boot, I get a message that DNS has failed for the NFS server mounts, and the shares do not mount. The message says, "mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for server: name or service unknown." I have to mount the shares myself. Then when rebooting, I get the same error saying it can't unmount the shares.
this is /etc/resolv.conf:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
this is /etc/conf.d/nfs:
# Number of servers to be started up by default
NFSD_OPTS=8
# Options to pass to rpc.mountd
# e.g. MOUNTDOPTS="-p 32767"
MOUNTD_OPTS="--no-nfs-version 1 --no-nfs-version 2"
# Options to pass to rpc.statd
# N.B. statd normally runs on both client and server, and run-time
# options should be specified accordingly. Specifically, the Arch
# NFS init scripts require the --no-notify flag on the server,
# but not on the client e.g.
# STATD_OPTS="--no-notify -p 32765 -o 32766" -> server
# STATD_OPTS="-p 32765 -o 32766" -> client
STATD_OPTS=""
# Options to pass to sm-notify
# e.g. SMNOTIFY_OPTS="-p 32764"
SMNOTIFY_OPTS=""
Do I need to add some option to rpc.statd, or is there some other misconfiguration there? AFAIK it is the default. What else should I look at to fix this? I can ping the server by name, and log in with ssh by name, just fine. It's only the nfs that is failing with DNS.

Yahoo! Good news, I've finally solved the problem on my laptop. The message I was receiving turned out merely to be a network timing issue.
The error I was receiving was exactly correct and informative. When /etc/rc.d/netfs ran and executed a 'mount -a -t nfs...' the network was indeed NOT reachable. I am running networkmanager, and apparently during bootup, networkmanager gets loaded, but there is a delay between when networkmanager is loaded and when the network is available. In other words, networkmanager allows the boot process to continue before the network is available.
My daemons are loaded in this order (rc.conf):
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal dhcdbd networkmanager crond cups ntpdate ntpd portmap nfslock netfs)
Consequently, if I add a delay to /etc/rc.d/netfs to allow time for the network to come up, then when the NFS shares are mounted, the network is up. In my case I had to add a 3 second delay.
sleep 3
I'm sure this isn't the best way to solve the problem, by editing the system file /etc/rc.d/netfs, because the next upgrade where changes occur to netfs, my fix will get overwritten. But I'll keep it until I figure out the "right" fix.
The real solution is to not load networkmanager in the background, but to force startup to wait for the networok to be up before continuing.
there is the _netdev option you can use in fstab, but that doesn't always work:
http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount
_netdev
The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system).
Alternatively, you could just add a cronjob to do a mount -a with a sleep 20 in there or something. You might have to play with the sleep value a little to make sure it's long enough

How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!

Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help?
