Hello, Manila-philes. Back in Paris we started talking about Manila mount automation, whereby file shares could be automatically mounted on clients, and this will likely be a topic in Vancouver. So in order to have an informed discussion at the summit, I'd like to explore a few things beforehand.
Besides brute force approaches like SSH or PsExec, one of the community suggestions was to use Zeroconf (aka Bonjour)[1]. Zeroconf sounds attractive on the surface, but it seems to have a number of limitations: * No standard way to specify local mount point * Additional setup required to work beyond the 'local' domain * Custom software needed on clients to mount advertised shares * Same issues with network connectivity as any other mount automation solution Does anyone have a clearer idea how Zeroconf might satisfy the need for Manila mount automation? Thanks, Clinton Knight Manila core team [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking
