Also, the jtlayton> README.replicated_mounts file seems to indicate the opposite: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/801-6634/6i10efsl2?q=automount&a=view Look for this section: How Autofs Selects the Nearest Read-Only Files for Clients (Multiple Locations) Or from the Solaris man page, if you prefer: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0211/6m6nc66nc?a=view "Requests for a server may be weighted, with the weighting factor appended to the server name as an integer in parentheses. Servers without a weighting are assumed to have a value of zero (most likely to be selected)." If the documentation for the Linux automounter conflicts with that of Sun, I would say it is a bug. Let's fix it. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
