Is it possible to have two separate fstab files. One for ufs (local disks) and one for remote disks (NFS). The reason I want to do this is that I anticipate having a large number of machines to mount and it would be nice if I had one global fstab file. I talked to my local DEC wizzard and he suggested creating the fstab file at boot time from two separate files. Any other ideas. Also I would like to able to mount directories with root priviledges to the admin nodes (defined in netgroups) and allow the rest of the world non-root priviledges. I tried creating separate entries in my exports file but it seems to only read the first entry. I know that I can do this for subdirectories: exports file /usr /usr/spool/mail -r=0 this works but why does this not work exports file /usr /usr -r=0 admin where admin is defined in netgroups. The reason I want to do this is so that I can do backup from one central location.

You can either have automount startup files on all of them, or distribute the automount maps via NIS (YP). We use NIS to distribute our maps; we have around 35 systems (DECstations and Sun 3s and 4s) mounting a common set of 4 partitions via the automounter. One of our DECstations is the NIS master.
