Hi,
This is a new feature of StarPort 3.0.x.
For most of people earlier mounting of persistent devices is very important thing. Espesially for servers where user can not log in for monthes.

For the recent StarPort versions you can use non-persistent devices and remount them manually each tyme you need them.
Best regards,
Valeriy

1) We'll check what we can do. Maybe implementing *both* schemes (global mount and user logon mount) is really a good idea.

2) 580 machines? Very interesting... Would you please write me down your license details and usage scenario. I don't remember anybody doing such a big payment. And I'm also very interested to know about 500+ client node SAN environment.
