Photo 212: Blue wall: Half-way done!

Posted by Keith Garner on 31 July 2011, 3:46 pm

That is one blue wall, as is the one opposite! The perpendicular wall will be red, once the blue is dry.

Photo 209: the Biltmore Hotel

Posted by Keith Garner on 28 July 2011, 9:24 pm

I’m staying at the Biltmore Hotel while on a business trip. This is the second time I’ve been here, its a beautiful place. This is the first time I used the pool, reported to be the largest hotel pool in the US. It was good looking, and I was able to take these three shots here.

I’m glad I brought along the gorillapod because they are all 1s or longer.

Normally I’d thumbnail the bonus shots, but I like them enough to match the size of the featured shot.

OS X 10.7/Lion attemping to mount a Windows 2008 file share: WTF?

Posted by Keith Garner on 25 July 2011, 11:19 am

Overall, I’m happy with the changes that Lion brings. I was a bit thrown off by some of the changes that happened as Spaces got folded into Mission Control, but once I found out how to assign apps to desktops in the new style I calmed down.

We’re stuck with one vexing problem at work that’s Lion related: We have all of the work Macs tied into Active Directory and that’s working pretty well. However, we can’t seem to mount a Windows 2008 file share if it has access permissions on it. This worked fine in Snow Leopard, but I’m getting an error dialog with “You do not have permission to access this server” when I use the “Connect to Server” GUI box.

However, if I go to the command line and issue a mount -t smbfs cifs://server/path/to/share /some/path it mounts just fine. I’m not sure what the command line is doing different from the GUI, but seriously WTF?

Its holding us back from doing wider deployment. I can live with doing a manual command, other users, not so much.

[Update: I've opened a bug with Apple.]

[Update 8/24/2011: Apple has put up a Knowledge Base article addressing this at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4829 which explains the behavior differences. I don't have a great workaround yet but we know the why now.]

[Update 2/15/2012: 10.7.3 is still showing this behaviour]
