I'm using steps in the below link to use the AutoMount capability to mount shares on my iMac that are hosted on a Windows Server (2012 R2)
http://www.dforge.net/2012/08/07/create-a-permanent-smb-mount-in-osx/
I created a folder in my home directory called SMBShares and I auto mount into that.
I've got it working no problem where a share presented on the Windows Server is a folder. For example, if D:\MyStuff is shared as MyStuff in Windows, auto mount mounts this successfully into ~/SMBShares/MyStuff. If I got into ~/SMBShares in Finder, I see the MyStuff folder and I can navigate it.
However, if the share on Windows is the root of a disk, for example D:\ shared as DataDisk, the auto mounter mounts it, but it doesn't show in ~/SMBShares in Finder. However if I use terminal I can see the DataDisk folder in ~/SMBShares, and can cd into it and see the contents of the shared drive.
Any clues why the behaviour is different between a folder share and a drive share?
