Hi,
I'm just trying to set up autofs 4.0.0pre9 (as it comes with brand new
SuSE 7.1) for our network and ran into a problem:
What I want to do is crossmounting all the home directories of our
Linux machines (twenty-something boxes) with a nifty wildcard map,
via NFS. In principle this is working great, the map is a fraction
of the old AMD map, and the mounter mounts as expected, but...
When I try to "ls" a formerly unmounted directory (or "cat" a file
on a formerly unmounted directory, it works fine... AT THE SECOND
TRY. For the first try, it gives "No such file or directory". When
I redo the command (from history) a second later, it works as
expected!
Interesting enough, the "cd" command works instantaniously.
We're running a lot of automated jobs which write on network volumes
and which, unfortunately, are not very forgiving about non-existant
directories. So my question is: is there a way (an option?) to halt
the program which demands the mount until the FS is really mounted?
Cheers, patrick
PS: Is there a mailing list archive? FAQ? Where? The pointers the SuSE
package gives are... uhm... unsatisfactory.
PPS: Please CC: me replies since I'm not on this list.
