afp mount point help

I know this isn't exactly DNS-323 specific, but can someone help me figure out where the AFP mount points are defined?

I have a problem with AFP mount points after reinstalling FFP.  Originally, I followed the directions on the wiki, put the following in my afpd.conf:

"juwannastore" -uamlist uams_dhx.so, uams_clrtxt.so, uams_guest.so -guestname "guest"

And probably did something else that I can't remember, and when I connected to the DNS-323 via AFP I had two mount points - "DNS-323" and "HD_a2".  Everything worked fine, until one day the unit spontaneously rebooted and I couldn't connect via AFP anymore.  The root cause was some unclean apple database files on the drive, but my knee-jerk reaction was to reinstall ffp and AFP.  After doing so, I only see the mount point "HD_a2".  This would be fine, except that all my applications expect the DNS-323 mount point and it would be a pain to reconfigure.  Can anyone help me figure out how to rename the mount point?

Thanks.

Re: afp mount point help

I had the same problem as you.  I got a power outage and now AFP does not work any more.  When I try to reconnect under Finder -> Connect to Server, the AFP progress bar hangs without doing anything.  I let it there for a while and the connect window stays there.  Are you sure AFP is not working because of these unwanted Apple db files?  If so, do you know which file it is?  I'm imagining a spontaenous shutdown is bound to happen again and I don't want to have to delete FFP each time this happens.

Also, once you uninstalled / reinstalled FFP did it start working again?

Re: afp mount point help

Figured it out after a frustrating week of googling, forum searching etc.  My afp problem was indeed related to the power outage.  That helped me narrow down the search to figure out that .AppleDB files need to be deleted and afpd needs to be restarted.  Now everything works!  Time for me to buy a UPC to protect the DNS323.

BTW, you can change the mount name at /ffp/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default
