Back in the "good old" OS 9 days and before, when you mounted a network volume, Mac OS remembered the folder positions/attributes of all folders on that mounted volume. Thus, when you EJECTED that volume, and re-mounted it later, all folders would be right where you put them last when you re-open them. (i.e., They acted as they do for folders on the Mac's internal volumes.)
But these days, with as much as macOS has improved Mac life, this one small aspect seems to have vanished, and all mounted server volumes (mainly my Drobo NAS, even though it's an afp volume!) forget window positions/attributes when the NAS is ejected, then re-mounted. (Say, for example, after a power outage.)
I have to believe there is SOME way to have external NAS volumes behave the same as internal drives in this respect. Has anyone else run into and/or solved this issue?

Is this strictly the case with network mounted volumes for you? Because I use external hard drives all the desktop position is always remembered.
