Hi everyone.
I'm new to this list, so I suspect this question has been answered many
times before. Apologies, if this is true.
In my organization, more and more new workstation purchases are for
Linux (virtually all Red Hat, for better or for worse). In the past,
for almost two decades, we have been a Sun shop. There's an ever
increasing desire to integrate these new Linux workstations into the Sun
network. On the Sun side, we have standardized on Solaris 7/8 (soon to
be 8/9). Of course, getting the automounter to work off of the Sun nis
maps is a requirement. Here's were I stand on this:
I've uninstalled autofs (3 as comes with RH) and installed autofs-4
(autofs-4.0.0pre10-1). I've aliased autofs4 to autofs in modules.conf.
Clearly autofs is basically working in that I can now do hierarchical
mounts, thus:
boreas -rw,hard,intr \
/disk1 boreas:/mydisks/disk1 \
/disk2 boreas:/mydisks/disk2
Works. However, I'm trying to get the auto_net map to work, and I'm
having problems. I've nailed down the problem to the fact that maps
with multi-level mount points fail. Thus:
boreas -rw,hard,intr \
/mydisks/home boreas:/mydisks/home
Fails. Since most machines export disks more than one directory deep
(e.g. /export/stuff) this will kill auto_net, since
/net/host/export/stuff would fail. Anyone know why this is dying for
me? It's critical to get this up to move forward.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Cheers,
J
