continued #applefail

the latest bullshit from cupertino is my imac keeps trying to access the remote disk in my time capsule since the upgrade to 10.7.2 (it's possible the guilty party is airport release 7.6 but i'm pretty sure this annoying behaviour was happening before i upgraded the time capsule - regardless, it's also apple code).

the time capsule is only used as my itunes library - a network attached storage unit. previously, if itunes wasn't running on the imac, the disk in the time capsule would spin down and the unit would sleep. now it gets awakened every five minutes with an "afpfs_DoReconnect" request.

by the way, the itunes library is shared but no other machines were using it when i was really bothered by this annoying behaviour. filed 10454739. (didn't realize that by upgrading my apple products i was volunteering to do their smegging q/a ....)
