Hi, I'm trying to integrate a linux box into a TRU64 UNIX network, and am seeking some insight with automounting. Our TRU64 network uses NIS to propagate data among our client systems. The systems have been configured to use the NIS auto.master map to establish automount links. Here's a snippet of the file:
# Razor Links /newrazor -rw,intr newrazor:/razor /arazor -rw,intr cerberus:/razor # Misc. Alpha Links /home -rw,intr mercury:/home /vxdisk -rw,intr as2508:/vxdisk I am already aware that the auto.master file format is incompatible with autofs. I am working with automount2amd to generate a local auto.master file for the linux box. The feature that I'm looking for is the soft link generation upon autofs startup. In TRU64, when automount is started, softlinks are created in root, based on the NIS auto.master map. So, an ls -l in a TRU64 client would display this: ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 20 Jan 17 16:46 arazor -> /.automount/arazor lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 20 Jan 20 17:05 home -> /.automount/home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 20 Jan 20 07:51 newrazor -> /.automount/newrazor lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 20 Jan 17 16:46 vxdisk -> /.automount/vxdisk ... My question is this: Is it possible to configure auto.master so that when autofs starts up, These soft links will be automatically created. When autofs is shutdown, the softlinks are automatically removed. -Rob PS - If I didn't convey my question coherently, please let me know so that I can elaborate. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
