How to mount volumes only after network is available

[juju01]

When I boot up my mac studio. it takes about a minute for it to get network connectivity ( ethernet ). In the meantime, network drives that mount automatically fail. Is there a way to let the mounts wait for network connectivity ?

I would be more concerned with why it takes so long to get network connectivity. For me, it's instant.

But, you can set up an Automator action to wait a minute, mount one network drive, wait a few seconds, then mount another network drive, etc. Set that action as a startup app and you should be good to go.

I use Automounter with a condition set so that it won't try and mount the shares until it can ping my NAS.

I like it because I've always found OS X / macOS a bit flakey when it comes to mounting shares and keeping them mounted.

I have a mount from my NAS added to LoginItems and it works every time I boot. I’d look into why it takes that much to get connectivity.
