Automount'ed Samba Shares accessible via Command Line but hidden in Finder? I have 4 samba shares on a Synology DiskStation that I successsfully automount on my 10.9 / Mavericks based system under /Shares/ and when I open the command line I can go there just fine and list the files and directories just fine, however when trying to navigate to /Shares via the Mac OS X finder, the directory just seems entirely empty:



My /etc/auto_master looks like this:

#
# Automounter master map
#
+auto_master        # Use directory service
/net            -hosts      -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home           auto_home   -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers    -fstab
/-          -static
/Shares         auto_smb    -nosuid


... my /etc/auto_smb like this:

home -fstype=smbfs,rw,soft ://joerg:myPassword@nasHostname/home
Downloads -fstype=smbfs,rw,soft ://joerg:myPassword@nasHostname/Downloads
Music -fstype=smbfs,rw,soft ://joerg:myPassword@nasHostname/Music
Videos -fstype=smbfs,rw,soft ://joerg:myPassword@nasHostname/Videos


What am I missing here? Why aren't the shares displayed in Finder?
Perhaps the 'hidefromfinder' option in your auto_master setup file has something to do with it?

/net            -hosts      -nobrowse,**hidefromfinder**,nosuid
/home           auto_home   -nobrowse,**hidefromfinder**


From the auto_master(5) man page:


  The
       hidefromfinder option is used on maps that shouldn't show up as folders in the Finder; it causes the UF_HIDDEN
       flag to be set on the root directory of the map.
