[comp.sys.sgi] Automounter for IRIX

larson@csd460a.erim.org (Eric Larson) (08/01/90)

     Is there an automount program similar to Sun's automount program available
for the SGI systems?  Is anyone successfully running an automounter under
IRIX 3.2 (or 3.1)?  I am currently investigating an automounter called
"amd", but it doesn't make any references to SGI or IRIX and it appears it
will require some porting effort in order to make it functional.
				Thanks,
				Eric (larson@csd460a.erim.org)

It comes with 3.3.  (I assume on the NFS tape.)

I'd like to ditto that question....  We have a LARGE number of systems
with their file systems cross-mounted via NFS.  It would be nice to
establish the mounts on an as-needed basis.

The automounter is in IRIX 3.3. I dont know if it works, but its there.

automount(1M) is in 3.3.  Hope this helps.
