Hi,
I'm trying to bring up a stacked file system on top of an NFS mount point
both via automount.

For example:
On my client system I have two directories /data1 and /data2
/data1/nfs_01
/data2/nfs_01

nfs_server:/data/nfs_01 is mounted on /data1/nfs_01 (type nfs)

/data1/nfs_01 is mounted on /data2/nfs_01

The automount config files look like:
/etc/auto.data1:
nfs_01   nfs_server:/data/nfs_01

/etc/auto.data2:
nfs_01   -fstype=ecryptfs :/data1/nfs_01


The problem:

When I try to access /data2/nfs_01 it kicks in automount to mount
/data1/nfs_01, which in turn kicks in automount again to mount
nfs_server:/data/nfs_01 on /data1/nfs_01.

The second mount waits for 10secs for a lock file held by the first mount in
mount_nfs.c after mkdir_path().

Is there a way I can configure things such that the second mount doesn't
wait?

The lock file is a single global.
Should the file be specific to the mount point?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
