How would you be able to do browsing from the init script given the protocol restrictions imposed by autofs4? Autofs4 uses the magic pgid value as well as requiring a pipe fd to do communication. If you are simply looking towards translating the browse option to the ghosting used in automount4, then by all means go for it :) However please note that you will have to handle this in the daemon as well as it is possible to nest indirect maps: auto_master: /src auto_src -browse auto_src: linux -fstype=linux,browse auto_linux If you are willing to wait, I've been working on the autofs implementation I described at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/6/167 that will support browsing/lazy mounts. I will be releasing it to the community in the coming weeks pending some approvals.. - -- Mike Waychison Sun Microsystems, Inc. 1 (650) 352-5299 voice 1 (416) 202-8336 voice mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sun.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE: The opinions expressed in this email are held by me, and may not represent the views of Sun Microsystems, Inc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAziCYdQs4kOxk3/MRAtDKAJ9LpL5XG6Jzz3GMxV37xn+fFFGnAACgkY69 d0xqX+0xTLKaTwja5pI1cGg= =p9c+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
