Version 5 TruCluster Server & NFS mounts.

Has anyone got a scheme for balancing NFS mounts in a TruCluster Server
environmnet?

I've tried to use automounter but this blew up, and hung the
cluster. Adding all the NFS mounts we require (~300!) into the FSTab makes
one node manage all the NFS traffic - not a good scenario. Reading the man
page for cfsmgr:-

> File systems of type File-on-File Mount (FFM), NFS client, and Memory
> File System (MFS) cannot be relocated. An attempt to relocate file
> systems of these types returns an error (EINVAL).

I've wondered about making /etc/fstab a CDSL and distributing the
filesystems that way - but I can see this being a nightmare to manage...

I can't believe that we're the first to hit this issue.... I hope someone
has a solution!

Thanks in advance!
