are bind mounts supposed to be working? since autofs doesn't support solaris' direct mounts, i've converted the solaris automounter map into several maps like this:
under solaris, in /net there are mount points and directories containing mount points: /net/cc/foo -nosuid,rw xxx:/nfs/cc/foo /net/linux -suid,ro linuxsrv:/home/ftp/pub/LinuxInstall (from `ypcat -k auto_direct`) since autofs (from debian potato half a year ago) didn't grok this, my linux /etc/auto.net contains lines like linux -suid,ro linuxsrv:/home/ftp/pub/LinuxInstall cc :/netcc i.e. mount points only and an additional /etc/auto.netcc contains mount points for /netcc: foo -nosuid,rw xxx:/nfs/cc/foo with the prior version of autofs, /net/cc was a symlink to /netcc and everything worked fine. but now, with autofs 3.9.99-4.0.0pre10-0 (debian package), the symlink has become a bind mount with the effect that while /netcc/foo works like before, /net/cc/foo is totally empty! is this a bug in the bind mount, autofs or my configuration? kernel is 2.4.18, the system is debian woody, last update today. (/etc/auto.master contains /net /etc/auto.net /netcc /etc/auto.netcc ) rj
