if I use your methodology I would mount the nfs dir to /home/user/dir
and end up with /home/user/dir/dir
I do not want the second dir
As I understand it the /home/user/dir is the mount point for autofs and
then a key dir is specified - dir but this places too many subdirs in the
chain.
I would like the mount point /home/user/dir to also be the key
as in the nfs dir would be mounted to /home/user/dir as well as the autofs
dir
so that my key file would look somthing like -
. -fstype=nfs,rw some.host://home/user/dir
some.host is on another machine
currently I mount is as
mount -t nfs some.host:/home/user/dir /home/user/dir
