I know, I just wanted to test to see if it worked ;) The main reason for pointing it out is that sun's automounter will work properly in those cases. Here's what the map looks like above, including and below the home directory section. gridengine rogueleader:/export/gridengine nfshomes \ /brinda deimos:/export/nfshomes2/brinda \ /dtsouma deimos:/export/nfshomes2/dtsouma \ /ijdar deimos:/export/nfshomes2/ijdar \ ... /gvijay deimos:/export/nfshomes2/gvijay \ /gcraigm deimos:/export/nfshomes1/gcraigm \ /weszka deimos:/export/nfshomes1/weszka \ /pooja deimos:/export/nfshomes1/pooja \ /msubotin deimos:/export/nfshomes2/msubotin volumes deimos:/export/projects/archive/volumes volumes2 deimos:/export/projects/archive/volumes2 > > Not really. autofs only sees lookups at its mountpoint level (ie, /fs2 > in your case).

In our case the entire /fs tree has automount items in it, not just /fs/nfshomes, so starting autofs on /fs/nfshomes isn't possible. Unfortunately, due to the 4095 character/line limit in the autofs and sun automounter code we're probably just going to set it up as a seperate mount tree (/nfshomes or something). Trying to scale out more than a few dozen home directories is presenting a large headache. The only thing that we've found to do arbitrary layering is amd, but training users not to use /a/ or /.automount is futile and it has some stability issues on solaris + dfs.
