autofs direct mounts
Does anybody know how to do direct mounts on Linux? I'm finding very little information in the man pages and other supplementary documentation.
I'm trying to use NIS automount maps from a HP-UX 10.20 NIS master. The client is RHEL Ver 3.
I can get the indirect mounts to work fine, it's just the direct mounts I cannot find the information for.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: autofs direct mounts
I'm using NIS auto.direct maps from an HP NIS master. It looks like this:
/logs -rw,intr owl1:/vol/vol0/home/logs
/net_data -rw,intr \ owl1:/vol/vol0/home/net_data
/etest -rw,intr owl1:/vol/vol0/etest
/perl -rw,intr \ owl1:/vol/vol0/home/bin_tools/perl56
(owl1 is a Network Appliance)
Don't know if this will help, but any direction is appriciated.

Re: autofs direct mounts
Yep, that's just the way it looks in the nsswitch.conf file:
automount: nis files
Thanks,

Re: autofs direct mounts
I suspected that maybe linux didn't support direct mounts. Nothing in the man pages for autofs, automount or auto.master point to direct mounts being possible. In fact, it looks like the only type of mount available is indirect.
Just thought I'd ask. I guess I can put the direct mounts in the fstab, though I would prefer not to.
Thanks again for your help.

Re: autofs direct mounts
symlinking to the mounts work?
You could also enable /net mounts and
symlink to the appropriate directory.

Yeah, that's my other idea.
Thanks,
