Re: [osol-discuss] no user mount of nfs filesystem

Use the automounter.  :-)

Looks like we can use a nice direct map entry as we have discussed 
before. The system will automatically mount it upon first access (by any 
user).

This in /etc/auto_direct on the client should do:
/vzfsTest      vzfs:/vzfsTest

Then, after "svcadm restart autofs" (or run "/usr/sbin/automount"), you 
should simply be able to "cd /vzfsTest" as any user on the client, and 
the directory should be mounted for you.

Personally, I would also make sure the mount point on the client is mode 
777, and owned by root. Non-777 permissions can cause strange issues. 
I'm not sure about non-root ownership.

Regards,
Brian
