This would incur a timeout for every host listed in your replicated server entry, and with Ian's patch, it would incur a timeout for non-replicated servers, as well. In fact, for the non-replicated server case, I think it would give a false negative, failing the mount even though the server is up. Is this really how you have things configured? NFS clients can't ping their servers? -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
