Hi, does anyone know (or have an idea about) how to achieve cascading mounts with autofs 5?! Basically what I would like to do is to (auto)-mount an iso image which lies on an (auto)-mounted smb share.
/etc/auto.master contains: # mount_directory map_file options /mnt/smb /etc/auto/smb --timeout=5 --ghost /mnt/iso /etc/auto/iso --timeout=5 --ghost /etc/auto/smb: tkampe -fstype=cifs,cred=/root/cred ://tkampe/C\$ /etc/auto/iso: image -fstype=iso9660,ro,loop :/mnt/smb/tkampe/image.iso The auto-mount of the smb share works fine. But the mount of the iso works only if the smb share is already mounted (via "cd /mnt/smb/tkampe" for instance). What I would like to achieve is that trying to access /mnt/iso/image (which should be auto-mounted to /mnt/smb/tkampe/image.iso) triggers the auto-mount of /mnt/smb/tkampe to //tkampe/C$. But it doesn't. Ideas? Thorsten
