I'm running Redhat 5.2
I upgraded to kernel v2.2.1 and installed all of the updates from:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/updates/5.2/kernel-2.2/i386
Then I compiled autofs 3.1.3
% automount -v
Linux automount version 3.1.3
If I have a /etc/auto.master like this:
/var/spool /etc/auto.mail
and a /etc/auto.mail like this:
mail -rw,fstype=nfs,nolock,actimeo=0 mailspool:/export/spool/mail
Then I can't see anything in /var/spool (like mqueue)
One way I've fixed this problem is:
/etc/auto.master:
/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
/etc/auto.misc:
mail -rw,fstype=nfs,nolock,actimeo=0 mailspool:/export/spool/mail
ln -s /misc/mail /var/spool/mail
Is there a better way?
Is there a plan to put direct maps into autofs?
I think "amd" might be able to do what I want, but I've heard
of a bunch of improvements going on in autofs...I've been unable
to find good documentation on autofs.
Is amd gonna go away???
I would appreciate pointers to all things autofs in Linux.
Thanks,
Jeff Mangewala
