Hi folks-- Has anyone been successful in using automount on a Personal IRIS workstation running IRIX 3.3.2? I'm following the documentation and would like to setup direct mounts for some NFS file systems. The problem I'm encountering is that either: 1. The NFS filesystem is mounted in /tmp_mnt when I try to "ls" the symbolic link, but I'm unable to change directory to the mounted filesystem using the symbolic link. All obvious protections appear to be correct. 2. Nothing happens. Neither the NFS filesystem is mounted, nor the symbolic link is setup. When I try to "ls" the symbolic link, it hangs. I can't remove it either since "rm" claims "mount point in use". If anyone has a working setup, knows that automount under IRIX is broken, or can help with the above problems let me know via E-mail. Thanks, edward. Edward Dergharapetian (213) 206-6067 UCLA Mathematics Dept. 405 Hilgard Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90024-1555 ARPA: edward@math.ucla.edu "Life was easy when it was boring"
