Re: NFS and mountable filesystems - automounters

I run amd - on debian.. works like a charm!
Doesnt require kernel automount support

Only one annoyance I found.

Server NFS exports      -       fileserver:/data1/iso
Client
        Manually mount the export on /iso and do a ls
                see all the contents of /data/iso
        Automount it by "ls /iso/somefolder"
                ls /iso
                dont see any of the contents of /data/iso

========== FROM DEBIAN ============
apt-cache show am-utils

Description: automounter utilities from 4.4BSD (includes amd)
 Am-utils is a set of tools for automounting filesystems: mounting a
 filesystem "on demand" when it is first referenced, and unmounting it
 later if it is no more needed.
 .
 Am-utils contains the amd automounter.
