However, when I create a new web project, it will appear in the directory. Is this the expected behaviour? It doesn't make sense to me, as wouldn't the virtualisation just 'work' for all projects?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Once I have started virtual_alf, Alfresco will generally stop responding after a bit of usage and I see 'CIFS VFS: server not responding' in the console messages, and various 'CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 115 mid 141', etc. Now, I'm unsure as to whether this is an Alfresco problem or an Ubuntu problem, but have I done anything bone-headed in the mount configuration? I've also got a Mac box here, so I'll see how that behaves.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Damien.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:10:32 GMT damien77 2008-10-06T14:10:32Z CIFS configuration https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-configuration/m-p/190431#M143561 Hi all,I'm currently developing web content on Alfresco 2.2E on Ubuntu HH with smbfs installed.From what I understand about virtualisation, I have to manually mount the AVM repository to get file virtualisation in virtual-tomcat.

(The alfresco-virtserver.properties file notes that the automount functionality is not implemented). Without the AVM mounted, any JSPs using getRealPath() won't work (I'm using velocity, which relies on that).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Has anyone actually managed to get virtualisation to work with something more complicated than the examples in the Alfresco sample app?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:15:50 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-configuration/m-p/190432#M143562 damien77 2008-10-06T17:15:50Z
