touch /vicepX/AlwaysAttach I believe /vicepX can be a symlink to any directory or an actual directory. AlwaysAttach will cause it to be added as a vice partition even if it's not an actual mount point.
I'm not sure why this shouldn't just be the default behavior, with an option for 'DontAttach' to keep it from attaching a particular dir/partition. -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-6679 UMR Information Technology Fax: (573) 341-4216 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russ Allbery > Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 4:00 PM > To: Madhusudan Singh > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: [OpenAFS] Re: [Slightly OT] changing UID of a user to 1 > > Madhusudan Singh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Ok.
