Solaris Client Script and lofs File Systems

[Andy France]

Henrik,

I should have spotted this aaaaages ago, but have only just noticed while
reviewing the status pages post my 4.2.0 upgrade.

We use the automount facility in Solaris for home directories.  So the
users home is set to /home/user, but is actually contained in
/export/home/user.  This allows the /export/home to be shared both locally
and via NFS for a central home directory across multiple servers.  The
automountd process automagically creates a loopback or NFS mount of
/export/home/user on /home/user when the file system is accessed depending
on how /etc/auto_home is configured.

Which leads me to the following suggestion:  as each /home/user entry shows
in the mount table, but is actually the exact same information as the
/export/home file system, the hobbitclient-sunos.sh script should add ^lofs
to the list of file system types to exclude.

I apologise if this is a bit disjointed - it's quite not as "summery" down
here in the southern hemisphere as it is up there, and my head is all
stuffy from a cold.

Cheers,
Andy.


PS - apologies for the following :-(
