Hi there,
I'm having problems reconnecting to mounted shared volumes when my computer wakes from sleep. It seems that OS X can't maintain its connection to mounted servers once it goes to sleep, but it doesn't properly disconnect them either. This is a problem upon wake up, because the mounted volumes are still on the desktop but cannot be accessed. Even when I try to drag a network volume to the trash and reconnect, the Finder goes into "spinning rainbow ball" mode for several minutes until finally an error message comes up saying:
<!> Disconnected
The file server "Mounted_Volume_Name" connection has unexpectedly closed down and reconnect has failed.
Only then can I re-mount the shared volume. Big pain in the butt!
Anybody know how to either keep the volumes properly mounted during sleep & wake, or to figure out a way to un-mount them right before going to sleep (so they may be freshly mounted upon wake with no 'hangover' effect)?
As a side note, I also noticed that the menu bar time display doesn't update the time for quite a while after wake-up. Could this be related?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.
