Got the answer from IBM. "With Automount, you can not have an automount controlled directory under another automount controlled directory."
and "You can mount to /u/wsbinds and in /u/cics you can put a symlink to /u/wsbinds. For example ln -s /u/wsbinds /u/cics/wsbinds That will let you reference the path /u/cics/wsbinds and be redirected to /u/wsbinds automatically." From: "Alan Field" <alan_c_fi...@bluecrossmn.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU, Date: 07/19/2013 14:10 Subject: NFS automount help requested Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> I have an NFS Server task running on LPAR A. I export a directory /u/cics/wsbinds. On LPAR B I can issue a mount for this directory using MOUNT FILESYSTEM(wsbinds) + TYPE(NFS) + MOUNTPOINT('/u/cics/wsbinds') + MODE(RDWR) + parm('mvssysa:/u/cics/wsbinds') and access the files within. But I really want this to be automounted on LPAR B. On LPAR B I have a /u/cics/wsbinds defined. I update my u.map file with name cics/wsbinds type NFS mode RDWR filesystem wsbinds parm "mvssysa:/u/cics/wsbinds" duration nolimit and restart automount. No matter what I try I cannot get this to automount. Given the MOUNT command works I suspect I have some confusion over the u.map definitions but hours of googling haven't resulted in anything useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
