How would you be able to do browsing from the init script given the
protocol restrictions imposed by autofs4? Autofs4 uses the magic pgid
value as well as requiring a pipe fd to do communication.
If you are simply looking towards translating the browse option to the
ghosting used in automount4, then by all means go for it :) However
please note that you will have to handle this in the daemon as well as
it is possible to nest indirect maps:
auto_master:
/src auto_src -browse
auto_src:
linux -fstype=linux,browse auto_linux
If you are willing to wait, I've been working on the autofs
implementation I described at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/6/167 that
will support browsing/lazy mounts. I will be releasing it to the
community in the coming weeks pending some approvals..
