Rename Mounted Volume

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hello every 1:

I’m currently stumpt with regard to this problem. My script works fine, my only concern is the mounted names.

For example, I have a share name “comm”. When mounted the name remains as “comm”, I’m wondering if it’s possible to rename the mounted volume to “Communication”. This will significantly simplify the usage by the user.

Any help is appriciated…

Thank you…

Hello matt_premier:

Thank you for the quick response:

Here’s my code so far


set DOMAIN to "CBQBT"
set USER to "mac01"
set PASS to USER

mount volume ("cifs://" & USER & ":" & PASS & "@CBQ" & DOMAIN & "NAS/" & USER & ""

My understanding was AFP has a file limitation of 2GB, that is why I’m using cifs. I have been toiling for the past days trying to get

do shell script “mkdir ~/Desktop/Communication”
do shell script “mount -t cifs //mac01:mac01@CBQCBQBTNAS/comm ~/Desktop/Communication”

it would always return:
exec /user/sbin/mount_cifs for /User/mac01/Desktop/Communication: No such file or directory

For some reason I’m not getting the command rite so I have abandoned CLI and stuck with “mount volume”. The share does exist and is accessible via APPLE + K from the finder.

any of this make any sense??

TY…

Did some more researching…

Is it possible “mount -t cifs” or “mount_cifs” doesn’t exist in CLI?? Normally it works if you press APPLE+K and enter “cifs://server/share”
