RFE: Mount ISO under /share/Web/

I would like to request an enhancement to the ISO mount feature. I should be able to mount an ISO image under the /share/Web directory such that I can request files from the ISO via HTTP. For example, I might mount the RHEL 6 Server x86_64 ISO under /share/Web/rhel6Server-x86_64 and then request files from http://cisconas/rhel6Server-x86_64/.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

Brian,
Thanks for the post.
When you mount the ISO file as a share, you can view the contents via http://nas-ip/shareISO where shareISO is the name of the share you created that points to the ISO file. The actual ISO file can be anywhere on the device.
With webDAV enabled, this seems to work fine. Maybe I'm not understanding your issue or use case properly.

I have Mavericks on my iMac and the latest version of iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) but no book, card, calendar, album, slideshow, print and order prints options under Share, which still shows Set Desktop. Any ideas please?

How Do I find out what app is auto-mounting a network share and stop it?

I have a new laptop, the 13" rMBP. I installed Steam and wanted to use the network share on my server to store the game files. Everything went OK. I closed Steam, disconnected the share and shutdown my laptop. When I opened my laptop later on at work, it started to try and mount the network share.It keeps on going it. I removed the Steam app and all files related to Steam that I could find. I've looked at fstab, auto_home, auto_master and a large list of other files and directories and I *still* cannot find the offending file that's auto-mounting the share. It's really frustrating.
The share auto-mounts when I am home but not on the desktop or in finder. I find it by looking at /Volumes/ in terminal. If I mount the share manually under /Volumes/ it shows as Games-1 and mounts on the desktop under Games.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking to find the offending process/file/daemon?
Thank you!
Trevor

thanks for the reply but are you sure about this? What difference would it make? Why 5 apps?
Even if it does work, which I doubt, at some point, I will have to resync ALL my apps again and surely the same thing will happen again, and I will be none the wiser. I still won't know which app it is. There must be a way of finding this out.
Any ideas?
What is really freaking me out is how it is connecting to my carrier (who is charging me) with Cellular data switched off.......?
Thanks again.

How can I mount an SMB share in the Finder? (Leopard)

In Tiger, I was able to mount a SMB share in the finder and it would be displayed under the "Devices" section. With Leopard, I cant get this to work. Leopard is much easier to browse network shares on my Windows machine under the "Shared" section, but I would still like to have certain folder mounted all the time, preferably on startup.

Works perfectly for me, so let me make sure we're on the same page.
I mount the volume manually, using Connect to Server.
I drag the volume, now appearing in Computer and on the Desktop, to the Devices section of the Sidebar.
I eject the volume, and it disappears from the Sidebar.
I mount the volume again (it could be by browsing for it, through Connect to Server, or through an Automount Maker document)
It appears, without my having to do anything, in the Sidebar.
As far as I can tell, this is what you were aiming for. Am I missing something?

Self-service users can mount iso but cannot unmount

I have 3 tenant groups that can mount iso files to vms located in their clouds (via App Controller 2012 SP1) from a library share but cannot unmount them. Actions granted to them are: Deploy, Deploy (from template only), local administrator,
remote connection, shut down, start, and stop.
The library share was originally shared on the server to everyone as read, adminstrators as full control.

Ok this is not a great solution IMHO. I believe this functionality needs to be split out.
The solution for me was granting Deploy (from template), local admin, remote connection, remove, shut down, start, and stop. Deploy allows mounting of the iso and remove allows unmounting. Remove also allows vms to be deleted if they are off!!!
I can see the thinking here...self-service tenants with the capability to deploy new vms should also be able to remove them (within their tenant group and fabric space). However, one size does NOT fit all. These functions need to be split out for
additional fine grain control.
ex: I would love to allow certain application personnel to mount ISOs but NOT to delete vms.

Mounting an NFS share

Hi,
I'm attempting to mount an NFS share and having no success. Regardless of the settings I try, the Finder still denies me access to the NFS share, even though it mounts fine. I seem to have no read or write access to the share.
I've tried exporting the share (in /etc/exports on the server machine) in two ways: with
/home/REDACTED/share REDACTED/28(rw,sync,all_squash)
And
/home/REDACTED/share REDACTED/28(rw,sync,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=1001,anongid=1001)
In the second example, the anonuid and anongid are those of the shared folder's owner and group. I added "insecure" because a how-to on the web claims that OS X won't work with any shares that don't have this specified.
With either of these settings applied, Disk Utility verifies the existence of the share, and mounts it. However, I can neither read files within, or add files to, the shared folder. The error produced is:
The folder “share” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
I have tried the following Advanced Mount Parameters, each to no effect:
nodev resvport nolocks locallocks intr soft wsize=32768 rsize=3276
nodev nosuid resvport nolocks locallocks intr soft wsize=32768 rsize=3276 ro
nodev,nosuid,resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=3276
nodev,nosuid,resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=3276 ro
resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=3276

I'd rather not employ SAMBA, and the Apple File Sharing package for my server's OS (Ubuntu 11.10) appears to be bugged currently. Besides, NFS would be a far neater solution.
Any helpful advice?

I've simply come at NFS as being the most appropriate file-sharing implementation for my needs - it supports automatic mounting at boot using tech native to both my Linux OS and OS X.
That is part of the problem. NFS is designed for environments where all servers are mounted (by root) at boot time and permissions are managed via NIS or LDAP. That is the default setting. If you are using something else, it requires some hacking.
I've had SAMBA working in the past, but I guess a certain air of contamination creeps in when using a Windows protocol to allow interaction between two UNIXy systems.
Plus, you would now have two different 3rd party reverse-engineered reimplementations of a foreign protocol.
AFP would be great, but despite receiving support on the Ubuntu forums and IRC, I failed to get it to work - it may be bugged; which would not be surprising, as 11.10 (with Kernel 3) has proved problematic in several other ways.
Perhaps Ubuntu is targeted more towards desktop rather than server usage. About the time I last played with NFS, I also played with Netatalk - with disastrous results. Supposedly Netatalk is better now. It's authors would be more than happy to sell you a support package.
I did use the default settings - they failed to allow a working NFS share. I then applied the variety of settings as recommended by apparently knowledgeable people. Still no success. I have read that UID/GID settings are an important aspect of NFS, but the issue in this case (as far as I understand it) is that all UID/GIDs below 1000 are privileged in Ubuntu 11.10, whilst on OS X these are below 501. So, the choice is either to give the shared folder owner a privileged UID/GID pair, or change the UID/GID of my Mac users to meet the NFS servers needs - not something I'm happy to do for so small a gain.
You can create a throwaway account on the Mac and just reset the GID/UID to values equal to an account on the Linux machine. That would establish that it is properly working in the default configuration. Then you could edit /etc/idmapd.conf.
For that reason, I use the "all_squash" option, because the share in question is not for anything remotely critical and the data to be transferred and stored is both worthless and transitory.
Since all_squash maps everything to nobody, you would have to hack up the permissions on the server to make everything world writeable. I think it will work with /etc/idmapd.conf and without all_squash.
I know nothing about NFS other than that its capabilities and integration meet my needs.
Just what are your needs? If the data is worthless and not critical then Netatalk might be the best option. If you can't get that to work, you could try MacFUSE on the Mac side and mount over sshfs. That is normally what I do. It isn't all that reliable, but you don't seem to require that.
What information I did find regarding OS X and NFS was that there were peculiarities that required certain settings to be present on the server and the client respectively - for example, OS X apparently requires "insecure" to be set as an option, or it simply won't connect properly. I don't know why, but I have no choice to trust to the advice of others in this case, until I have sufficient grasp to take care of the whole thing myself.
This goes back to the expectation that NFS expects to be always connected and mounted by root. Apple sells very few desktop machines anymore so it assumes a different, user-centered environment. You could use "insecure" on the server side to allow connections from "insecure" ports > 1024 that a regular users can connect with via the Finder. You could use the terminal with "sudo mount_nfs -o resvport" to tell the Mac to use the root user to connect via a secure port instead.
If you genuinely think you're able to help, then I'm happy to hear your advice. What would you recommend?
I appreciate your meeting me halfway. I think all you really need is /etc/idmapd.conf without all_squash. Then you could setup AutoFS and you could use NFS in a modern environment without even bothering to mount it.

Hyper-V snapshots sometimes comes without mounted ISO

Hello, all.
We are running an automated tests with Microsoft Test Manager and SCVMM virtual environments. Recently we started to mount ISO images with file collections on VMs (we used to copy them to VMs from a network share, but it was too slow and caused timeouts and
network share access problems).
ISO images is being mounted via WMI Hyper-V Provider. The images are located in host's local folders (C:\ISO), which are also network shares being synced with "primary" share with DFS.
The problem is: sometimes (I'd say in 1 case from 100) a virtual machine doesn't "see" mounted drive like it's ejected. But Hyper-V Manager shows correct "image file" in the VM's settings. Changing it to "None" and back to the
same image file fixes the problem.
Is it a bug in Hyper-V? We even inserted an additional check: after calling WMI we also run dir D:\ to ensure the image is mounted. And it's there. And then it doesn't...
Any suggestions other than re-mount an image every time it's needed :-) ?

Hi,

When saving documents from word 2013, the save as dialog shows the default path under "other web locations"

it used to be in the gold ole days of sharepoint 2010 and office 2010 that when I created a document in sharepoint and saved it I would get a dialog, like this (see below) I have also attached a screen shot of the 2013 save dialog (when you save
a document for the first time).
I find it strange that the user actually has to select their "Current Folder" and also that it shows in the dialog as "other web locations" Why can't it be like in the 2010 days where it automically selects the correct location
and the user just hits save. And why does the sharepoint location show up as an "other web location". Is there anything that can be done (through office registry settings or another way) to make this less confusing for our users???
now when I do this in office 2013 I get a dialog like this:
krd

Hi kdube,
I test in SharePoint 2013 again, When I created a new document library and created a first document and clicked save as, I got a same dialog with you that "Current Folder" was under "other web locations".
But when I created a second document and from then on, when I clicked save as, I got a same dialog with myself that "Current Folder" was under "SharePoint".
As I have said, Actually, web locations contain Microsoft SkyDrive and SharePoint libraries. Even the default path under "other web locations", it will not affect the Save As function.

How to keep multiple function modules under one Web service

Hi Experts,
I have Three RFC function modules and i need to create one web service for these three RFC function modules. I know How to crearte a web service for one function module.
please suggest me How to keep multiple function modules under one Web service.
Thanks in advance
Lakshminarayana

Hi Lakshmi,
The best way to do it is to assign all the three RFC Enabled FM's to one function group. Later on the top menu in Utilities you get an option to Create a Webservice from a Function Group.
You can create one single Webservice using all the the 3 FM's.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Manu

How to allow users to mount a Samba shares on a WXP

Through lots of reading I've managed to get an understanding of how to mount SMB shares at bootup by placing the proper edits in /etc/fstab. While having the shares of the server, running Contribs.org SME Server 6.01 (recently known as Mitel SME Server) and acting as a samba server, being mounted at startup is perfect since the server is always on. This is not the best idea for the XP workstation since it isn't always on. Here is a copy of my present fstab file with x's replacing the passwords.
fstab [B---] 0 L:[ 1+19 20/ 21] *(1085/1086b)= . 10 0x0A
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
//192.168.2.2/stuff /mnt/silicon2 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,user
//192.168.2.105/e-smith /mnt/silicon1 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,users,noauto
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / xfs defaults 0 1
I would like users with an account on the Linux box to mount the remote share on the XP box without needing to SU and consequently need the root password. When trying now to mount "e-smith" (The share on the XP box) as a user using "mount /mnt/silicon1" I get a message about needing to be SU.

To allow users to mount smb shares you need to make smbmnt suid:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
Note however that the user needs to own the directory used as mountpoint. So I don't know how to make 'mount /mnt/silicon1' in your setup work for all users.
For the users to be able to unmount the smb shares as well you need:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now users can do 'smbmount //server/share mountpoint -o username=whatever' or simply 'mount mountpoint' if the details are specified in fstab. To unmount root can do 'umount mountpoint' or users can do 'smbumount mountpoint'.
Don't confuse smbmount with smbmnt - the first is the command you use to mount shares manually, the second is the one that should be suid and is used both by smbmount and by mount -t smb.
Hope this helps.

Cannot mount multiple CIFS shares in /home

I have 2 users, Joe and Fred, who each have their own directory in /home. I also have a Netapp filer with a CIFS share called CorpData, which has subdirectories for Joe and Fred.
On the Arch Linux box, I have this for my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda1
UUID=d93def89-7611-43c8-a74f-e20bee64bd7e / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/joe /home/joe cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=joe,gid=users 0 0
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/fred /home/fred cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=fred,gid=users 0 0
The problem is that at boot time, Joe's directory will be mounted, but Fred's will not. The reverse is true if I reverse the two entries in fstab.
If I issue the "mount -a" command after logging in, the second mount does get mounted, but also generates this error message:
mount error(16): Device or resource busy
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I did refer to man mount, but since only the second mount is failing, I don't know what I could try differently. There are many more directories in CorpData, so I don't want to just mount that entire share on /home.

Looking into this further, it seems that the server is not able to accept the second request so quickly after the first. Is there any way to insert a delay or sleep command between the two mount entries in fstab?

How can a mount a NFS share exported from OpenBSD?

Hello Apple Discussions:
I've been experimenting with NFS in a mixed OS environment, and have been successful exporting nfs share with tigerserver, and mounting it on both a powerpc linux system, and on a powerpc openBSD system.
Likewise, I can export a NFS share from the linux powerpc box, and mount it on the openBSD box and on the tigerserver, although, the latter required using the options (ro,sync,insecure) in my exports file.
However, when I export a share on the OpenBSD box, I can mount it on the linux box, but not on tigerserver.
I would like for the OpenBSD box to export a NFS share securely, with read-write permissions, to the tigerserver.
After reading so many tutorials, that it would be a page of links, just to list them all, I am pulling my hair out. However, I have found one thread that suggests, that perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible:
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54308
Here it is suggested that the NFS won't work because tigerserver is not using UTF-8?
I will have to say, that I was somewhat alarmed, that the only times I succeeded in mounting an nfs share exported from linux onto tigerserver, it was when the "insecure" option is used in the /etc/exports file. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for the linux style exports option "insecure", in the bsd style options of --maproot=user:group1:group2.
But I don't like using any options that say "insecure" anyways, so rather than trying to find out how to make openbsd "insecure", I would rather like to find out if there is a way to get tigerserver using UTF-8, at least when mounting NFS shares, if this is indeed the issue.
Here are the more technical details. I've created a user on all sytems named "fives" with the userid of 5555 and the groupid of 5555. I made the user local user in the local net info domain, but I've tried it with an LDAP user as well. The folders I wish to export and the folders into which to mount them are all owned by user fives and group fives, and have permissions set to 0775. The ip addresses are OpenBSD=192.168.222.111 TigerServer=192.168.222.233 LinuxPPC=192.168.222.253. I've included the relevant NFS setup files and running processes below:
ON THE OPENBSD BOX:

# actually, I don't see statd, but haven't found the equivalent in openbsd. There's rpc.rstatd, and maybe it should be listed here, but there doesn't seem to be a way to launch it directly. This is a competitor with the UTF-8 theory about why it's not working.
ON THE TIGER SERVER:
# here's proof that tiger server sees the mounts:
showmount -e 192.168.222.111
Exports list on 192.168.222.111:
/fives 192.168.222.0
/exports/fives 192.168.222.233 192.168.222.253
# here's the result of user fives' attempt at mounting a share:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.222.111:/exports/fives /imports/fives
mount_nfs: /imports/fives: Permission denied
# yet user fives has no problem mounting same share on linuxppc box.
What is different about OSX server? I thought it was supposed to speak NFS?
---argh... I'm steppin out for a pint.. Hopefully when I'm back it'll just work.

One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
There is an Apple help article on multiple users.

Unable to mount a network share drive in mac os 10.7 when logged in as root

I enabled the root account by entering sudo passwd root in the terminal window. Once the account was enabled successfully, I logged out from my admin account and logged in as root. I then attempted to mount a network share running on an Xserve and a Windows share but was unable to. I logged out as root and logged back in using my admin account and I was then able to mount both shares successfully.
Is there a new Lion security feature that prevents the root account from mounting network shares? If so how can I get around it?
Thanks for your help.

I had the same problem. While logged in as root, I can't use an alias or Cmd+K to connect to a server, but it works fine as any other user. I tried the link above and after reading the mount_afp man page, it describes two steps needed to mount a server. Here's what I had to put in Terminal to mount a share called Installers:
The root account does not seem to be getting past the first step when using Cmd+K or an alias to a network share, although this worked in previous versions of OSX.
This problem was not fixed in 10.7.1

Java Console in Netscape 7.1 browser under Tools- Web Development

There must be something wrong: with my Netscape 7.1,
under Tools->Web Development
I do not Java Console (JavaScript Console is there).
How to solve this, please help. Thank you.
(I use j2sdk1.4.2_04), and did use in /usr/local/netscape/plugins
ln -s /home/xxxx/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc-32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

There must be something wrongOH NOES!!!!!!
Did you try looking in the systray? With recent versions of java, you right click the coffe cup icon in the systray to get at the VM info. That's because the sun VM is a system-wide thing, not linked into the browser so much any more.
If that doesn't work, do any java things? (ie applets)

Do I need to add new users under sun-web for declarative security to work?

Hello,
Do I need to add a <principal-name> element under sun-web.xml whenever a new user registers on my website? I am planning to use declarative security for my website, so I went ahead and created a custom realm that uses JDBC to get users information from MySQL. To do a simple test I added a new user under a new group that does not have a mapping under sun-web.xml. However, web.xml has the needed security-constraint and security-role elements that define the role and the protected resources. The problem is that when I deploy the application under SJSAS PE9 I get the following warning: "No Principals mapped to Role [jdev]". Does that mean I have to add each and every use to sun-web.xml for the declarative security to work?

Good question. I am having the same problem with my LDAP realm. Funny thing is that the exact same approach worked fine and dandy with Sun AS 8. Sounds to me like something broke under AS 9 ...
