What do you mean by this? Something that doesn't show up inIndeed, I haven't solved my requirement of a transparent autofs filesystem aka. Solaris automounter again. A difficult problem that will require considerable effort.
/proc/mounts? I don't see this as much of an issue.. On any decently
large machine, there are so many entries anyway that /etc/mtab and
/proc/mounts become humanly unparseable anyhow.
Transparency of an autofs filesystem (as I'm calling it) is the situation where, given a map
/usr /man1 server:/usr/man1 /man2 server:/usr/man2
where the filesystem /usr contains, say a directory lib, that needs to be available while also seeing the automounted directories.
