as i am runing osx on a guid hd parallel to two mbr ntfs harddisks i wonder if there is a way to ex- / include certain partitions to be shown in osx.
for example, i dont need my xp / vista system partitions to show up on the desktop and finder. it would be nice to choose only certain partitions to show up. second, i would like to now how to have external shares (smb/ftp) to automount at bootup. thanks |
I can't tell you about smb, but as for partitions, are you familiar with linux? fstab?
written in another topic by # datech50 using uuid of boot part in /etc/fstab to prevent the boot drive from automounting. That way the 1GB boot partition won't show up on your desktop. If you ever need access to the partition you just mount it using diskutility. Just add the line UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx none hfs rw,noauto 0 0 to etc/fstab osx doesn't have an fstab file by default so just create one, make sure you set permissions |
thanks, that describes how to prevent certain partitions from automounting.
any idea of how to mount partitions/shares besides doing it manually via diskutil or finder? there must be an easy unix command ("mount"?) doing that, but i wounder how to automate that, maybe by scripting ... ? |
For auto-mounting i think this will work

You can drag shares you want to mount on startup into – System preferences > Accounts > Login items.
This works in Tiger at least, haven't tried it in Leopard though I see no reason why it wouldn't!! :) |
