</span>Well, trying to add it to my /etc/fstab has been… annoying. It’s not just me, since I’ve found perhaps several hundred web hits from people having a hard time with it. The first part of the problem is that the purported fstab line to use is of the form<br>
(from <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/alexthepuffin/home" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/<wbr>alexthepuffin/home</a> by the author)<br>
"afpfs#afp://<a href="http://username:mypass@10.211.55.2/alexdevries" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">username:mypass@<wbr>10.211.55.2/alexdevries</a> /tmp/xa20 fuse user=adevries,group=fuse 0 0 “<br>
<br>
BUT this prevents the Pi from booting. Urk. By sheer fluke I was doing this test on a Pi that is set to boot from a usb disk so it was reasonably easy to mount it on another Pi and eventually I worked out how to find the fstab and comment out that line. I tried rebooting and then re-enablgin the line and using `sudo mount -a` to see what happens and apparently there was no `afpfs` command; after more fun time googling I discovered this was supposed to be bash script `/sbin/afpfs` that moves around the arguments (why? why ever do them in a different order to the main command?) and then I discovered a page from a Pi book that google had scanned which mentioned manually creating this file. Huh? Not included in the install package?<br>
<br>
OK, make the script as shown (and eventually found in the source code for the thing) and try that. Nope, refuses to boot, so redo the cross-mounting and modify fstab, again. You get the general gist of it; many hours spent searching, trying ideas suggested by people having related issues, rebooting and so on. I did finally find a version of the fstab line that does allow the boot to complete, albeit very, very, slowly and without actually making the mount available -<br>

So right now I’m stuck and annoyed and frustrated. This isn’t how things should work but seems to have become the standard over the last years. Grrr. Suggestions for solutions welcomed.<br>
