automount problem

[alloyv]

Hi,
I've got a problem with automount. I'm unable to mount the user directory.
I've created a "home02" share. Inside "home02", i've created two home directories dir1 & dir2.
Here's what happens when I do it manually:

[alloyv@omega]~% ls /mnt
[alloyv@omega]~% sudo mount nas2:/home02/user1/ /mnt/ 
[alloyv@omega]~% ls -la /mnt
total 24
drwxrwxrwx   4 root   root         32 2008-06-09 17:53 .
drwxr-xr-x  47 root   root       4096 2008-06-03 16:12 ..
drwxr-xr-x 109 user1 group1 12288 2008-06-09 17:59 dir1
drwxr-xr-x   2 user2 group2     6 2008-06-09 17:51 dir2
[alloyv@omega]~% sudo umount /mnt

As you can see, we aren't inside

/home02/user1

, but inside only

/home02

!?!
The same if I use

sudo mount nas2:/share/home02/user1/ /mnt/

why?

Hi,
I've got a problem with automount. I'm unable to mount the user directory.
[... sub directory of /home was mounted but contents of /home show up ...]
The same if I use

sudo mount nas2:/share/home02/user1/ /mnt/

why?

AFAIK this is a known problem and being worked on.

Currently, the work-around we're using is to additionally create individual shares for each subdirectory and to change the automounter map accordingly (mount nas:/user instead of nas:/home/user). We're in the lucky position to have only a limited number of home directories, so this was'nt too much work.

Hi!

We have the same problem here. Newest version 3278 of DSS.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to share all 100 User dirs individually.

Any news on this would be very helpfull?

Thanks
