Folks,
We are running Kernel 2.2.9 and are in a file server configuration.
We ran up against the hard mount limit of 256 and it is causing
some "nasty" workarounds.
We have a PERL script which works it way through over 700 user
directories on different machines (automounted). It does
a umount for a directory once it is done with it (to keep the
total mounted directory count down below 256) --
however -- we find that for directories that are on the same machine
(and end up being symbolic links), the umount command fails (dir not
mounted) -- BUT, that directory still counts against the 256 limit.
SO...we have the script just do an "rm *" in the mount directory.
The "remote" mounts are not affected, ALL symbolic links are deleted.
Is this BAD? Is there a better way to clear unwanted local mounts.
Best regards!
John
