Care to expound a bit? I'm not sure what people use backfstype for, but if it is generic, then you wouldn't want to handle every case in every mount module. But I think I'm missing your point. It makes some sense to me to handle this above the mount module, simply because you could call into two different modules. So, care to set me straight? ;) -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
