Subject: "Use bind instead of nfs if host is localhost" feature is broken? removed?
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:59:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110310235943.GA19588@mrv.com> (raw)

I have been relying on the behavior that

foo	host:/export/foo

uses 'bind' if host is localhost, and 'nfs' otherwise...

i.e. if i am on the machine "host", /export/foo is mounted on /mnt/foo using
bind, but if i am not on "host", host:/export/foo is mounted on /mnt/foo
using nfs.

But the latest version of autofs no longer does that.

Do i have to use this everywhere now?

foo	(1),host(2):/export/foo

The behavior is more like what I expect, but it seems wasteful.
