You might not need Cocktail. Code was added to QRecall to automatically mount directly connected hard drives when logged out.Charles Watts-Jones wrote:QRecall is scheduled to run at night when no-one is logged in and, using Cocktail, I've set my external disk(s) up to mount without user login.
In principle, it already does. However there may be circumstances beyond its control.It would be good if QRecall could survive disconnection/reconnection of an external drive.
It may be the Firewire interface on the drive. I have encountered several external drives that exhibit bad/poor mounting behaviour. One customer has a FW400 external that disconnects every time the computer goes to sleep. The drive has to be powered off and back on again before it will reappear.in my case I suspect an intermittent problem somewhere in the FireWire 800 'chain' as it has never happened with a FireWire 400 drive.
As always, I'd love to see log files and any crash reports (Help > Send Report...).
If you're running Leopard, then a restart will probably fix it. Alternatively, you could uninstall QRecall (hold down the Shift+Option keys and choose QRecall > Quick and Uninstall, restart QRecall, then go to Preferences and reauthorize it).Joel wrote:Is there a way to fix? I haven't restarted as the guy said above. Should I just try that?
