One tangent, unrelated to your problem: When you have the + mark, it means the machine gets its information from NIS. If you're not using NIS, you should comment-out those +auto_master and +auto_direct lines. Now, back to the question. A regular automount entry, as you know, just makes a special directory (in this case /home) where all the contents are automatically mounted upon request. An auto direct entry is more like a traditional entry in fstab, vfstab, or whatever the equivalent is on your OS. Auto direct simply takes a local directory and mounts a remote thing onto it. Direct. If you have regular automount on /home, I don't think you can have a subdirectory which is handled differently... I don't think you can put an auto_direct mount point as a subdirectory of a direct auto mount. But I don't know that for a fact; it just doesn't make logical sense, and it's the typical use scenario, so I'm discouraging it. I'll encourage mounting the direct automount someplace outside of /home, or else, make everything under /home direct too. Here's an example of an auto_direct... Put this in your auto_master: /- /etc/auto_direct --timeout=1200 Put this in your auto_direct: /home/auser -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix somehost:/path/to/export/auser /home/buser -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix somehost:/path/to/export/buser /home/cuser -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix somehost:/path/to/export/cuser /home/downloads -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix somehost:/path/to/export/downloads /foo -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,posix somehost:/path/to/export/foo _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
