Except the timeout from non-usage of the filesystem will only trigger automount into unmounting it and the underlying minidisk will still be linked. automount doesn't provide a hook there, as far as I know. Darn. Needs thought. It's certainly solvable (e.g. have a daemon sitting around and looking at the directory of real mountpoints and doing the unlinks when necessary while avoiding races) but it's not nice (not sure if autofs creating the mountpoint will trigger a dnotify event which could be waited for) and probably not as easy and clean as I'd hoped. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux Technical Consultant IBM EMEA Enterprise Server Group... ...from home, speaking only for myself ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
