This Space for Rent

MacOS annoyance of the day

automounted nfs connections not only don’t reliably survive hibernation, but about half the time they end up going zombie on me.

This is extremely annoying, because we keep all of our important files parked safely off on a FreeBSD machine in the basement where they’re backed up every day. And, no, time machine is not a suitable replacement because it doesn’t give me offsite backup. MacOS isn’t Linux 1.2.13 (I’m not sure what Apple used to serve Appletalk shares from in their Cupertino office) but it would be awfully nice to be able to set up a nfs (or, *gag*, samba) connection to my home server and be able to close the lid of my laptop without having to reboot the bastard when I open it up the next time.
