Subject: autofs updating ghost direcotry for removable devices
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 23:53:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090309225352.GA22229@SamZwo> (raw)

Hi,

I am using autofs with the ghost parameter.
What I would like is autofs to update the "ghost directories" according
to removable devices plugged in or removed.
I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/hal-autofs/

This python program rewrites the autofs config file when a device is
plugged in or removed. Very good.
Now I need to figure out how to make autofs aware of these changes.
I could just restart autofs (I first need to refresh my python to do
that).

I wonder:

Could I get into trouble when restarting autofs while a autofs
managed device is mounted?

Does anybody have a better Idea of how to do what I want to do?

Thanks!
Nathan
