Hi, I finally went to 5.1 and tried autofs instead of automount which
gives me a lot of troubles.
I mount foreign fs on my / dir in such a way that the mountpoint is the
name of the machine which exports the data
eg:
/dafne is the mount point of data exported from host dafne
/venus is the mount point of data exported from host venus
with automount if I do /bin/ls /
I simply see the files and the link under /
If the foreign file systems are not currently mounted I don't see them,
nor is requested their mount.
BUT
with autofs each time I do /bin/ls /
each of the foreign file systems listed in /etc/auto.direct
is automatically mounted.
I don't want that, since If I need to give a look onto a specific file
system I simply do it explicitally
(eg: /bin/ls /dafne )
Is that the right autofs behavour or am I missing something ?
In /etc/rc.config.common I now have has follow:
AUTOMOUNT_ARGS="-f /etc/auto.master"
AUTOFSMOUNT_ARGS="-m -f /etc/auto.master"
AUTOMOUNT="0"
AUTOFS="1"
while I left /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.direct exactely the same as
they were for autodirect
Thank you very much for any help,
Ciao from Italy
Emanuele
