Map a smb drive as soon as it is reachable

[andrema2]

I need to have a network drive mapped as soon as it is available.

I had a script running in an older version of MacOs that used to work fine, but it is not working on Sonoma.

on idle
tell application "Finder"
if not (disk "NAS" exists) then
try
do shell script "mount -t smbfs //user: password@server-ip/NAS /NAS"
on error errStr number errorNumber
return 300
end try
end if
return 900
end tell

I tried to run the command and it says mount: /NAS: invalid file system.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

I'm not an expert in MacOS, but my Unix knowledge is high.
In the Unix/Linux world they use an automounter which task is to mount a network drive if it is needed.

that’s probably related to the smb version or multichannel behaviour the NAS (which smb version? which NAS model?) is using. Check /etc/nsmb.conf and make sure that protocol_vers_map=2 is set; to fully disable SMB Multichannel support in macOS, add mc_on=no
