MacOS – Can anyone share original IO80211FAMILY kext for OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5

If Apple's dialog for X11 does not appear, you can grab the package directly from the XQuartz website.

Version 2.7.1 was the first to support Mountain Lion, but 2.7.2 is the current release as of this writing.

Ok, I think I've got it working.

Add the file /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nullvision.noatime.plist with contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
        "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.nullvision.noatime</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>mount</string>
            <string>-vuwo</string>
            <string>noatime</string>
            <string>/</string>
        </array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</plist>

Run these:

• sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nullvision.noatime.plist
• sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nullvision.noatime.plist
• sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nullvision.noatime.plist

The permissions have to be set to that for launchctl not to complain.

Then you've got this on restart:

$ mount | grep " / "
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled, noatime)

You can check if it runs by looking in the console:

29/07/12 2:55:45.334 PM sudo[978]:     Aram : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Library/LaunchDaemons ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nullvision.noatime.plist
