assuming machine exports /x and exports /y/z ...
the key being that it exports /y/z
on the client side...
.. auto.master ..
/.autofs auto.dir ..blah..
.. auto.dir..
x ..blah.. machine:/x
z ..blah.. machine/y/z
cd /dir/d2 ; ln -s /.autofs/x .
cd /dir/d2/y ; ln -s /.autofs/z .
( if symlinks is not acceptable.. than its a problem )
if d2 is aother remotefs from otherbox:/opt/d2
than that other box must allow machine:/y/z to mount to it
and we should be able to see stuff;
ls -laR /dir/d2/x
ls -laR /dir/d2/y/z
the above should not be an issue ??
at least from my basic understanding... i say the
the above works w/ symlinks... ..../d2/x and ..../d2/y/z
