Subject: running out of mount points
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 11:32:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40059944.4060901@rhythm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0401142351470.1783@raven.themaw.net>

I have run into a problem of running out of mount points.  I have over 
600 users and their home dirs are listed in auto.home and they are all 
stored on the same nfs server.  If I list the dirs, automount will 
create a seperate mount point for each user, and at ~256 mount points, 
no more home dirs can be mounted.
Is there a work around?

Here is the auto.master and snip of auto.home


auto.master:
/home                   /etc/auto.maps/auto.home
        vers=3,hard,intr,nosuid,nodev,rw,retrans=4,timeo=15,mountvers=2


auto.home:
