Automounting Volumes on OS XRevisionas of Thursday, 28 May 2026 at 13:06 UTC

OS X (client) will only mount external drives on user login (and not reboot). To correct this,

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true

This creates a file:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist
