I am trying to build an intelligent mounting structure to allow concurrent workstation-based development, creating deltas to a static, server-based body of code. My intention was to use the Translucent File System to mount a workstation's local development space on top of the Server's development space. That would make the server's code read-only from the workstation's perspective, while allowing local copies of changed files to be seen and manipulated by indeividual developers. Looking at the man page for TFS, though, it looks like it assumes that combined file systems will be local (there is no mention of host:path). I think I can get around this by using the automounter (already in place and configured) to make the server's directory appear to be local. My concern is the possiblity of a race condition between TFS and automount. Has anyone successfully used automount and TFS together? Config: 4/470 w/ 4.1, SS1+'s w/ 4.1
