Hi,
(I'm sure this has already been discussed on this list but somehow I
seem unable to find the right thread or otherwise an answer on the web...)
I need to automount subdirectories of an automounted filesystem by using
an indirect map which lies itself on an automounted filesystem:
/base/sub1/ <- mounted via auto.master and indirect map
/base/sub1/sub2/a <- mounted via indirect a map in /base/sub1
'sub2' is a "physically" existing directory in /base/sub1
(server1:/export/sub1, in example below).
I managed to do it with the following:
/etc/auto.master
----------------
/base file:/etc/auto.base --ghost
/etc/auto.base
--------------
sub1 / server1:/export/sub1 \
/sub2 -fstype=autofs file:/main/sub1/my.map
/base/sub1/my.map
----------------------
a servera:/export/a
b serverb:/export/b
...
My two questions are:
a) Is this the right and recommended way to use an indirect map which is
located on an automounted filesystem or are the better/more
efficient/faster ways to do it?
b) is the -fstype=autofs option an official option that will stay or
rather an unofficial option that might disappear in the future? The
manpages don't mention this kind of filesystem
(autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.131.el5_4.1 on CentOS 5.4), so I'm unsure about it's
status.
Thank you for any hint or referral to other online documentation.
frank
