The information Apple provides to automount Xsan to SNFS is dated for Xsan 1.4.2.

Xsan 1.4.2 uses the automount.plist file to mount SAN volumes. In order to mount the SNFS filesystem after each reboot of the OS X computer, configure the automount.plist file.

Create /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/config/automount.plist using this template, and change fsname to the name of your filesystem.

A template is available for download here: Xsan automount.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Volume_name</key>

So here is one of my new favorite sites Tinkernut

They have info on all sorts of Internet hacks. One of the things I’m interested in is getting free phone numbers with any area code you want, and then you could forward that phone number to a real phone line. This could be used to prevent sharing a personal number with non-personal people. Also, it could be used to save money for people in remote areas. This will allow for people to call a local number that will redirect to a remote number.

The site with free phone numbers is GrandCentral, which was recently purchased by Google.

GrandCentral is in private invitation only beta, much like Gmail was. I requested an invitation through inviteshare.

I want to use this as an alternative number so I don’t have to give out my cell number.
