autofs issue

[chaitanya1982]

Hi ALL,

I need to do a task in autofs. I will explain a scenario

We have configured our nfs mounts with global autofs file.

/proj/results is getting mounted through autofs which is defined in auto.proj.

Now I need to mount one directory under /proj/results with another filesystem from autofs.

like /proj/results/dev shuld be mount with filere3:/vol/vol10.

is it possible?


auto.proj file looks like as follows:

test1 -rw,hard,intr vixen:/vol/vol8/&
testcases filer2:/vol/vol2/testcases
results_epd filer2:/vol/vol5/epd
xtools filer2:/vol/vol4/xtools
dsv_xhd filer2:/vol/vol7/&
results filer2:/vol/vol5/ipsd


Thanks & regards,
Chaitanya

Its major defiences are the lack of direct maps and cascaded mount trees

from Configuration of the Automounter Autofs

I suppose the answer is 'Yes'

Could you please explain me how can I do this.

The thing is results(/proj/results) directory is also a autofs entry. under /proj/results I need one directory dev and shuld be mounted with another file system by autofs.

It shuld like as follows:


[root@xhd-itadmin1 results]# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
xhd-filer2:/vol/vol5 2.0T 1.7T 391G 81% /proj/results
[root@xhd-itadmin1 results]# cd dev/
[root@xhd-itadmin1 dev]# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
xhd-filer2:/vol/vol10/dev
1.8T 1.4T 406G 78% /proj/results/dev
[root@xhd-itadmin1 dev]#
