    Pardon me morderators, dont know whether its the right place to post this questions. Please move this on to respective branch.


    Setup is : Submit computer/node = we submit the matlab files
    Controller = it does the resource brokering
    Worker nodes/ slaves = they do the crunching of matlab jobs
    Submit drives = Samba
    Worker node = NFS

    We are currently sharing drives via SMB and Publishing shares via NFS. The submit nodes mount the drives using SMB, and the worker nodes using NFS. I have mapped the NFS volumes to /Volumes/Alpha, /Volumes/Beta, to match the standard mounting procedure on the client side, however the name of the drives on the client side will change based on which drive is mounted first.

    For example if Beta is mounted first the name of the drive in the /Volumes folder on the client side is /Volumes/mg, if Alpha is mounted next it’s name will be /Volumes/mg-1. Is there any way to account for that?

    Cheers

    I have no experience at all of matlab but I think the solution posted in the first few paragraphs of this SME Server USB Disk WIKI might hold a clue.

    Sorry if I've misunderstood your problem and this turns out to be useless to you.

    The NFS/Samba bit suggests that this should be in the UNIX (or Windows) forum.

    The worker nodes are hard coded to mount the volumes via NFS, the submit computers are not hard coded and are using CIFS. Is there any method to correctly mount the volumes consistently with the same names every time.

    Thanks for the thinking here lads.

    Submit machines are Mac's and loaded with Mac OS 10.4.11 .
    Shares are mounted manually :-(

    Sorry, beginning to see what your problem is.

    When you say
    Is there any way to account for that?
    exactly what do you mean? Do you want NFS shares to appear on the MAC desktop in the same order or is the naming the issue?

    Either way NetInfo maybe the answer and this might be of assistance. Note: NetInfo is gone in 10.5 (Leopard).
