Subject: autofsv5 - mouting files (not dirs)
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 17:33:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4554B7F4.3050909@ggr.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <45546B1F.5030306@ggr.co.uk>
The automount code (at least for indirect mounts) will not mount an
entry which is a file - it has to be a directory.
The reason behind this is that the code first creates the directory
then tries to mount the remote object on it.
In order to mount a remote file you need to mount it over a file,
not a directory. (As far as I can tell, mounting a file on a file works
OK in Linux).
Would it be possible to get automount to retry on a file if it gets
ENOTDIR from the remote end?
