Hello, I'm using the kernel-based auto mounter, autofs. I have all my mount points in the default /var/autofs/misc, and I have symbolic links to them in /mnt. However, whenever I do a listing of /mnt (either from an xterm, or from within an application such as StarOffice), all of the devices controlled by autofs are mounted. Is there a way to prevent this? If I want to access my CD-RW from within StarOffice, I would like to be able to go into the directory called /mnt and then go into the directory called /mnt/cdrw. But I would like to be able to do this without inadvertantly automatically mounting all the devices controlled by autofs. Any suggestions?
Thanks. -- Brian J. Stults Doctoral Candidate Department of Sociology University at Albany - SUNY Phone: (518) 442-4652 Fax: (518) 442-4936 Web: http://www.albany.edu/~bs7452
