How to stop AutoMounter from trying Network Shares on High Sierra?
Solution 1:
If Google lead you here because sudo vifs returns
vifs: editing error
this solved it for me: The source for vifs shows the error in the section /* obtain and invoke the editor */. I have my $EDITOR set to use TextMate. Apparently, that doesn't work.
Solution:
EDITOR=nano sudo vifs
Solution 2:
Sorry, I am a giant doofus. I thought AutoMounter was part of MacOS when in fact it was a utility I had installed a while back and didn't configure well. I was confusing it for auto_mount. I guess it's not that far-fetched. Still, kind of embarrassing.
