We have a problem with the NFS automounter. We have several NFS servers which have multiple exported filesystems, and which have relative soft links crossing each other. Filesystems: /host/fs1 /host/fs2 Link: /host/fs1/link1 -> ../fs2/file2 This works on Sun's implementation of the automounter because it mounts the directories using the same hierarchy as the fictitious mount points: Fictious mount points: /host/fs1 /host/fs2 Real mount points: /tmp_mnt/host/fs1 /tmp_mnt/host/fs2 As a result, the relative soft link which crosses the file systems still works as expected. However, on R/6000, the real mount points are all at the same level: Real mount points: /tmp_mnt/auto60R7rzhU /tmp_mnt/auto61R7r2Um and as a result, the relative soft links fail. Has anyone else noticed this? Perhaps there is way to change the real directories which I have been unable to find in the documentation.$$ -- INET: mrl@uai.com UUCP: uunet!uaisun4!mrl PSTN: +1 213 822 4422 USPS: 7740 West Manchester Boulevard, Suite 208, Playa del Rey, CA 90293 WANT: Succinct, insightful statement to occupy this space.
