I mount a VM's drive over NFS. I use the command
sudo mount host:/home/path /home
to mount the path on the VM to my /home
directory (I do this to match the directories for sanity reasons).
The problem is when I shut down the VM without unmounting, Finder and most applications hang for a few minutes, until the OS realizes the drive is unreachable.
Are there options when mounting to keep this from happening?
Probably not – this is just a Finder "bug". I've seen it hang for quite a few reasons when waiting for drives to become available or realizing that network shares have suddenly become disconnected. Maybe you could work around it by scripting the VM shutdown so that the share is unmounted before? – slhck – 2012-06-18T16:26:48.250
What version of OS X are you running? – MrDaniel – 2012-07-27T15:34:25.743
