I use Regina to link/mount my rpm/iso disks and unmount/detach them when I'm done. It seems to work fine, but it is rather very low utilization (a flurry of activity for a couple days every 3-6 months or so), but I don't know if it would break under heavier utilization.

We played with automount in the past and could get it to link the disk automagically when needed, and unmount after that, but we could not make it detach the disk when it was done. I suppose one could write some background process to check for stale links and detach them. With such a scheme it might work for rarely needed disks - if it's in use you wait for a few minutes and try again. Don't know how NFS does this right. -- Rob van der Heij Velocity Software, Inc http://velocitysoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
