Ive had this gripe about OS X for quite some time. At the moment I connect to my server via smb now this isn't a problem I have a program called AutomaticMountMaker which is put into the login items and whala my folder is visible once I login, but there lies the problem, I never logout of my laptop i simply close it. How can I stop this from happening, is there a way to have the virtual drive mounted all of the time?
