Alternatively, run it once with sudo so it can add the exclusion and then hopefully it'll shut up.

I can't see a way to tag the fs itself as no-automount, but it looks like adding the UUID to fstab and giving it the noauto option will do it. http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060930150059172 is an old hint although the comments are fresh, and agree with http://www.quora.com/How-can-I-disable-automount-on-a-specific-external-USB-disk-in-Mac-OS-X I haven't tested it since I don't have my MBP at work today but it looks like it's the Right Thing.

Martytoof posted:What happens if you hibernate a boot camp partition through VMware Fusion and then physically boot to it? Does it just invalidate the sleeping state and treat it as an unclean shutdown? I can't test it because I don't have Boot Camp set up, but I don't believe the bootloader for Windows does any "is this the same hardware" verification so it'll probably blindly load the hibernated state and then fall over and BSOD due to all the hardware changing underneath it (VMware disk controller becomes the native one, etc). Just in case, I wouldn't suspend it as a VM and then boot it either, as the suspend state will have in-memory representations of things like your registry and disk map, so changing those and then resuming the VM state will at best result in it bursting into tears.

I have a mid-2011 iMac with a home-made Fusion Drive which has been working fine since I set it up. However, I'd like to flatten and reinstall this machine because it's accumulated a lot of cruft, and I'd also quite like to remake my Fusion Drive "officially" if I can. I think I saw it mentioned in passing a few pages back but can anyone confirm/deny that I could wipe all the CS stuff of my disks and the Yosemite installer (booted from a USB stick) would offer to create a Fusion Drive when it sees my physical disks? If not I'll just format the partition I guess

Has anyone done NetInstall/NetBoot using Microsoft DHCP? I have a Mini running OS X Server (Yosemite), and we have a Windows domain so DHCP is done by that. I can see my NetInstall image in the Startup Disk preference panel, but when I restart the machine to boot from it, or boot holding N, I get a blinking globe which after 30s or so gives up and it boots the local disk. I've packet-captured the machine while it was trying that, and I can see it sending DHCP requests which get offers in response, but it seems to ignore them - presumably because it's requesting some options which aren't in the reply, specifically 67 Bootfile Name, 43 Vendor Specific Information, and 60 Vendor Class Identifier. Having failed to get an IP, I guess it never even manages to do the BSDP broadcast to find my OS X Server. When it does have an IP (when booted normally, and having made a "normal" DHCP request which it likes the answer to), it can then do the BSDP broadcast and the NetBoot server shows up in Startup Disk. I've had a look around for examples of how to configure MS DHCP to give answers the Mac likes, but part of the problem is options 43 and 60. 60 seems to need to be "AAPLBSDPC/i386" and possibly a model after that (in the reply from the server? not sure) but 43 needs to be some constructed byte value which contains the BSDP information and looks like it's dynamically built by bootpd as it assembles the reply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Service_Discovery_Protocol At this point I'm about ready to give up and just go round to machines with a USB stick to install them which is much less convenient and much slower, but at least I can use the OS X Server for things like caching updates. (Moving the server and the Macs to their own VLAN so I can use all the native Apple things is not really an option.) Anyone else made this environment work? If so, how?

Nerdrock posted:might want to maybe just try letting OSX take care of DHCP/Netboot... with the whitelist only it should prevent it from screwing up existing clients / your windows world. Ah I didn't spot the whitelist on the OS X DHCP server, that could work. Shin-chan posted:You will need to either setup iphelper addresses for bootp packets to be sent to your Netboot server, or setup a bootpd relay on the subnet that you want to image clients on. So the MS DHCP server is on a different subnet and there is an iphelper configured on the router. The Mini is on the same VLAN as the clients. There's no particular reason for this other than I want to use the Caching Service as our Internet connection is rubbish, and since it says clients on the network will automatically use it I was assuming that was a broadcast too quote:In my experience, usually the deployment center of IT is on its own network with the server on the same subnet because of this. This is broadly what I thought would be easiest - I'll present a couple of VLANs to the Mini and attach the DHCP/Netinstall services to one of them, and then just have a cable on my desk on that VLAN for machines I'm building.

spongeworthy posted:Can anyone explain why UserEventAgent attempts to connect to appleiphonecell.com and thinkdifferent.us, et al after booting up the computer or at other times? I don't have any applications open on boot except Calendar, Mail, and Little Snitch. Is it the thing which tries to detect if you're on a network which needs a login page popped up (e.g. hotel/airport wifi)? There's definitely something which tries to hit an Apple domain or two and if it doesn't get the answer it expects then it opens a window for you to login, but I'm not sure if it's UserEventAgent that handles it.

I'm poking around but can't find anything like that. Doesn't quite match your requirement of having it mix the definition with other results, but you could make a workflow with a custom hotkey trigger which opens Alfred with "define " already filled in for you ready to type the word. Threw one together for you, it's using shift-cmd-D which is a dumb shortcut but I was just mucking around: http://cloud.jamesoff.net/0c3e3Q3E2B3H Might need the Powerpack before you can use it, but IMO the Powerpack is a must-buy anyway

Of the stuff on the Powerpack page, the things I use most are the filesystem navigation/actions, and sync. Pretty much all of the features get used though.

It handled my 22,285 photos which were in Aperture fine, and took a few days to upload it all. I like it better than iPhoto and it's probably a better fit for me than Aperture was. It's handling that massive library without much in the way of slowdown (mostly when you do something like edit tags on a lot of photos at once). It definitely has some ".0" version issues to work out but mostly things I can't do (like drag one Faces bubble onto another to merge them). Upgraded to the 200GB iCloud plan for three quid a month, of which it's using 123GB. Syncing to other devices seems to work well too. Going to give it another week or so and then try to get my parents migrated from iPhoto to it, they really can't grok Events/Albums properly and I think Photos' way of presenting stuff will make more sense to them.

About the only thing I notice broken regularly is missing youtube embeds, and that's a click or two to whitelist for sites I care about it on.
