I'm running 10.6.6 and I connect to a network drive, let's call it Drive, at work using SMB. I use a sync program on my mac that pulls files from Drive to the cloud. The network drive shows up on my mac desktop as "Drive", but when I use a program that looks at the path, such as the sync program, Drive shows up as "Drive-1" or "Drive-2" instead of just "Drive". This is confusing the hell out of the sync software, because it is looking for Drive but only finding Drive-1, etc., even though Drive shows up as Drive on the desktop.

Two questions:

1) I'm assuming the -1 and -2 are from when the drive did not close correctly when the network connection was interrupted or some crap like that. How do I clear out the Drive-1 and Drive-2 information so that the system knows that when Drive shows up it is really just the same old Drive as it has always been?

2) How do I automap/automount Drive at login?

Any help would be appreciated.

[P]

1) Open terminal, go to /Volumes and delete the folder Drive
2) Make a shortcut to the drive and drop it in the autostart objects in System Preferences - accounts

So after learning *nix commands again for removing directories without having to go through and delete all the files first, this worked wonderfully. Thanks for the help.

Any idea what would cause it to do that? Ill-timed network disconnects?
