Hello,
Is it feasible to
hijack the automounter and issue your own custom mount command or must the
automount program perform the actual "mount" call?
The reason why
I am interested is that we are using the IBRIX parallel filesystem and we wish
to have some clients mount IBRIX exported shares using it's own special
"ibrix_lwmount" client mount command and non-ibrix clients to use the normal
automount process. The catch is we want to use the same mountpoint
under the control of autofs for both ibrix and non-ibrix
clients.
Is this feat
feasible? Any insight into how one
might even approach this problem would be helpful to me and maybe to the whole
community of ibrix users using linux.
I will say, I was
able to simply double mount seemingly ok, meaning I allow the automount to mount
the directory as it will under normal circumstances for regular clients, but
then I run the ibrix mount command ontop of the same directory. At first I was
also using the special ibrix umount command before I stopped the autofs daemon,
but it seems if I don't umount the double mounted directory, autofs still
unmounts all directory keys under the parent mountpoint
fine.
Does this raise any
eyebrows here?
Thanks.
