Hello all + Good new year,
Our problems are as follows:
We are using autofs (V 3.1.3, Linux 2.2.12 - Sparc) together with samba
(v 2.0.5a) and netatalk (1.4b+asun2.1.2) to export NFS filesystems from
other Sun machines (Solaris 2.5.1, 7) to our Win and Mac computers.
Since autofs creates the mountpoint while acessing the filesystem there
is no chance to access the filesystem via the Mac (All fixmounted
systems work, of course). Until now, it was possible to force at least
the Windows boxes to mount the FS be simply entering the name of the
mountpoint in the filemanager. After the last software upgrade (->
redhat-6.1), even this behaviour vanished. The fixed mount of the
filesystems can only be a temporarily solution.
My questions:
I read already some older communication about these problems in the
mailing list archive.
1) Can someone resume the current 'state of the art', please.
I'm especially interested if there will be a chance of having
functionality in a future release of autofs
that will create the mountpoints in advance ?
2) OR: Could it be useful to change to the amd package ?
THNX in advance, Roger
