Not all of them, but certainly more than 100 of them, which seems to be the limit we are talking about. > If so, I might suggest that static mounts might better serve > your needs. Really? I think this is the first time I have ever heard someone advocate static mounts as a solution to a large number of filesystems (especially ones that tend to appear and disappear frequently). But you are right, and this is effectively the solution we arrived at by increasing the timeout. > Or, rethink the application and deployment. I think that's what said in my penultimate sentence. :) Thanks Fletcher _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
