DroboShare automatic mounting seems to have been a bit spotty for a while now, but it looks like it's really, truly offline under Snow Leopard until a fix is released. Was trying to figure out why I couldn't get things mounted as usual, and came across this: support.datarobotics.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7...
Kind of sucky, especially considering how long Apple gave everyone during the beta period to get their stuff ready and working in SL. Fingers crossed for an expeditious fix!
Question about
Drobo (with DroboShare) no longer automatically mounting under Snow Leopard
Got a call from Drobo this am, looks like Drobo updated their support page -- SL is now listed as supported in the latest release, although 64-bit mode won't work unless the device is directly connected.

I don't have a Drobo but have come across them and think they sound good but it's stuff like this that I try to make a reminder for when I actually want to purchase/recommend something like it.

My Drobo via DroboShare DOES mount by itself under Snow Leopard, but I then there is some indiscrepancy: on the Drobo Dashboard opening page the File System Format is correctly given as HFS+, but on the Advanced Controls Panel/Tools page it states "The format of this Drobo is unknown". If I do "get info" from the mounted volume in the Finder the format is given as "SMB (other)". And occasionally Drobo Dashboard reports that it is formatted in FAT32. When I attached the DroboShare for the first time it changed a number of file names - the manual gives no clue as to why this happens.
This is quite confusing and I am a bit concerned about data consistency. DroboShare is certainly not a product for the masses, way to complex.
Hope that Drobo support is listening to gdgt.
