Alias resolve issues when connecting to Intel Storage System SS4000-E

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Mounting Intel Storage System SS4000-E via FTP

I'm sure this issue will reproduce in other servers as well.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The aliases are not resolved, but only available as alias-"files". I have
the same issue when connecting via Finder. Connecting via Transmit works
fine and the aliases are resolved as planned.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MacFusion Version 1.1 on Mac OS X v10.4.9-Build 8P2137
Connecting to Intel Storage System SS4000-E with firmware 1.4 Build 709

I'm quite new at this, the closest I could find in this forum was
http://groups.google.com/group/MacFusion-devel/browse_thread/thread/4d6c96633351
61fd/a96fc25f24818ac6?lnk=gst&q=follow+aliases&rnum=1#a96fc25f24818ac6
I downloaded it and compiled it to try it out, but it's a SSL solution only.

Is there any configuration file that I could alter or add somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

You're simply reporting the GUI (MacFusion) version that you're using without 
specifying which version of 
MacFUSE you're using, which flavor/version of the FTP FUSE file system you're 
using, and so on. This site/
section is for reporting bugs and issues with MacFUSE Core only. The MacFusion 
GUI has its own support web 
site.

It also sounds like you need a feature in the FTP file system--MacFUSE Core 
only provides a mechanism to 
implement all these file systems; it doesn't provide any particular file system 
itself. Please move this 
discussion to the macfuse-devel mailing list.

Yes I see now that I posted this in the wrong area.

However, I'm running MacFUSE 0.3.0, as for FTP FUSE flavor/version I have no 
clue, I
merely installed the package available at http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

I've posted at the macfuse-devel mailing list like you adviced. Thanks for your 
quick
reply! Feel free to nuke this issue report. ;)

Moreover, I'm not sure if by "alias" you _really_ mean alias (and not symbolic 
links, since I've heard many Mac 
folks use the term that way). If you meant *alias* alias, remember that since a 
MacFUSE volume doesn't have a 
"real" disk/partition associated with it, its volume ID can change with each 
mount. If a file system is interested in 
persisting its volume ID across mounts, it can do so through MacFUSE mount-time 
arguments by supplying 32 
bits of the volume ID.
