Hi-
I was wondering if there's a version of autofs available which offers
support for multiple mounts. I saw this entery in autofs-3.1.x/TODO:
autofs v4 TODO list
-------------------
.
.
* Support multimount entries. (Quite messy: can't unmount the
tree as a unit, probably needs locking while constructing the tree,
and needs scaffolding if no entry for /. Appears *very* difficult
to do without threading!)
.
.
We were forced to use amd because autofs offers no convenient way to
handle our auto.master map which make use of the multimount feature
like this:
auto.master:
/net/<server> auto.<server> -<options>
auto.<server>:
* <server>.<domain>:/nfs/<server>/&
Right now, I'm forced to run an automount deamon for each entery in
auto.master. <server> doesn't export /nfs/<server> itself, but just
the disk partitions under /nfs/<server>. It would be difficult to
change this.
A multi-mount capable autofs would really save the day. Otherwise
we'll have to keep using amd.
Thanks,
-Fred
