With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method. Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file.

We also encourage you to check the files with your own antivirus before launching the installation. The package you are about to download is authentic. On the other hand, mounting it manually is a good way to emulate the Windows 'reconnect on startup' to networked drives. I can't remember the file offhand, but I already have 'special' mounts for my /Users partition, and I'm sure all of the swap-drive hacks are similar.

apple implemented a mount script called 'mount_afp' located in /sbin. sadly they got no man-page for it, so i cannot imagine what they mean with -o [option]..

mount_afs, mount_nfs, mount_ufs, etc. come from the BSD world. mount(1) is just a wrapper that calls one of these based on how you've set the '-t' flag. It's there for conveinence's sake.

mount_afp is a program launched by mount when specified witht the afp type. I'd suppose the options are the same as the mount options (for example, read-only access, etc.). From the man page for mount:
If the type is not one of the internally known types, mount will
attempt to execute a program in /sbin/mount_XXX where XXX is re-
placed by the type name. For example, nfs filesystems are mount-
ed by the program /sbin/mount_nfs.
HTH.

This is a GREAT tip. The only problem I'm having with it is that it doesn't seem to allow the finder to 'see' the volumes. I have tried messing with the privleges and owner using chown and chmod, but nothing seems to allow me to view the file server in the finder and have it show up like a server would if I mounted it through the finder. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this happen? I've tried various combinations of chown and chmod, but to no avail.
Thanks
Eric

Run 'disktool -r' after mounting the AFP volume. This causes the Disk Arbitration system
to refresh its volume list, which then causes the Finder to update.

Thanks to Xil for the missing piece!!! now I have a little script that rudimentarily allows me to mount my local server. Theoretically, this could be put in Startup items and run automatically, though I'm planning on adding some checking to make sure that the server is not already mounted. (Right now its blind setup and will give errors). At any rate, I thought I'd pass it on to anyone who might be interested. Basically, this is a perl script that can be created by naming it according to the server you attach to (mine is called 'homemount' .) So, copy the following, then go to the unix command line, type pico homemount, do a paste, change the variables appropriately, save and quit, do a 'chmod +x homemount' , and you should be able to load that server with one command. (since it is a bad idea to hard code your server password in, the program prompts you for that)
I'll repost later when I get around to adding in all the checking that probably should be here, but if anyone else wants to do it, I'd be grateful.
best,
Eric
script follows
#!/usr/bin/env perl

##which is passed as argument
##from unix command line
## mountserver.pl _serverpassword_

$server_volume='server';

system ('disktool -r');

To add to this great hint, the above examples mount the remote volume as root, and as available to everyone.
Note that you don't have to do it this way.
For example, you could mount a remote volume that'd be only accessible by yourself.
here's how to do this with a directory called disk that's at the root of your home directory.
mkdir disk
mount -t afp afp://user:pass@ip.adress.server/volume_to_mount ~/disk
see how there is no sudo involved in the mount command.
Here, I get a few kextload warnings, but don't mind them.
PS the non-accessibility of ~/disk depends on the permission you've set to your home directory ;-)

I tested this hint to mount AFP Volumes of OS9 Mac via terminal:
% cd ~
% mkdir ~/afptemp
% mount_afp -i afp://at_node@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Volume_name ~/afptemp
at the promt type password, no password type enter; then:
% cd ~/afptemp
% ls
you can see the files of Volume_name, to unmount:
% cd .
% umount ~/afptemp
Attention: ~/afptemp will be deteted.
Example:
% mount_afp afp://pippo@192.168.0.25/Macintosh%20HD ~/afptemp
where 'at_name' can be found with atlookup command:
% atlookup
ff94.f9.30 pippo:Multi-User Client
ff94.f9.04 pippo:Workstation
ff94.f9.04 pippo:ShareWayIP
ff94.f9.f8 pippo:AFPServer

I can't get any of this to work. It looks like it works (I don't get any errors or anything), but nothing shows up. No connections. :-(

AutomountMaker

v1.4.8

Easily mount your shared folders.

Note

Due to new bundle app ID the auto update mechanism will can fail. When it happens please delete the old version manually and download the current version.

I'm sorry for this trouble.

AutomounMaker is an easy to use macOS tool to create scripts that will mount an AFP, FTP, WebDAV(http), NFS or SMB network share.

You can use the script as a Startup Item in your user's session config to automatically mount the given share upon login.
If you use always the same shared volume on your desktop, AutomountMaker is more easy than the classic Connect to Server.. proposed by Apple.
