Remount Volumes is available only when Switch is running on Mac OS X.
It contains one single preference: Volume remount information which contains a list of volume paths with corresponding user name and password.
If the network connection is interrupted while the flow is running, these volumes will be automatically (re)mounted. The specified user name and password is used to mount the volumes.
The list of volumes to be remounted, shows the Volume path, the User name and Password.
When closing the list editor, only volumes with a defined user name will be kept.
This preference uses a new property editor which offers the following three columns:
Column header |
Description |
|---|---|
Volume path |
The complete network path identifying a volume that may have to be remounted by Switch |
User name |
The user name to be used for remounting the volume (required field) |
Password |
The password to be used for remounting the volume |
Leaving the user name empty is equivalent to not listing the volume at all. When user closes the property editor all items with empty user names are automatically removed. This is relevant to the suggestion feature described in the next section.
When editing the Volume list, the Show volume paths used by active flows can be used to list all volume paths currently in use by active flows at the end of the list. By default this checkbox is turned on. Its state is remembered between uses of the property editor and across Switch sessions. If the volume path contains a user name, this will be entered in the User name field. The password is NOT added automatically.
When turning the option off, all volume paths with an empty user name will be removed from the list.
