In the linux automounter if you have something like this in a map file:
/test hosta(10):/export localhost(20):/export hostb(30):/export
the automounter will ignore the weighting and always pick the localhost. The Sun automounter also behaves in this way. The patch I'm submitted just clarifies the documentation so the user is not surprised when it happens.
Thanks, Chris
