The backing folders used by flow elements may be located on mounted volumes. On Mac OSX, if the network connection is interrupted, Switch automatically remounts the volumes that are used by the elements in active flows. By default, when remounting, Switch uses the volume information from the backing folder path. However it is also possible to define the additional remount information in the Switch preferences.
Property |
Description |
|---|---|
Volume remount information |
List of volume paths with corresponding user name and password. The specified user name and password is used to mount these volumes. To edit the volume remount information, double-click the property. See Setting up remount volume information. |
This preference uses a new property editor which offers the following three columns:
Column header |
Description |
|---|---|
Volume path |
The complete network path identifying a volume that may have to be remounted by Switch. |
User name |
The user name to be used for remounting the volume (required field). |
Password |
The password to be used for remounting the volume. |
Leaving the user name empty is equivalent to not listing the volume at all. When user closes the property editor all items with empty user names are automatically removed. This is relevant to the suggestion feature described in the next section.
When editing the Volume list, the Show volume paths used by active flows can be used to list all volume paths currently in use by active flows at the end of the list. By default this checkbox is turned on. Its state is remembered between uses of the property editor and across Switch sessions. If the volume path contains a user name, this will be entered in the User name field. The password is NOT added automatically.
When turning the option off, all volume paths with an empty user name will be removed from the list.
