Hi,
I am using am-utils(amd binary daemon) to auto mount home directories. the mounting process seems working fine but I am still not understand how the amd map key(s) lookup process works.
I've carefully read the am-utils(amd) document at http://am- utils.org/docs/am-utils/am-utils_8.html, especially the chapter "3.2 How keys are looked up" but am still not clear. For example, I'd like to access /home/dumbboy/files/deleteme, what is the key to be used, and how the lookup/match happens? and how the mount operations happens? Thanks a lot.
My amd.homes is considerably simpler than that. We automount to /homes/username using something like this where the machine alexis has the real home directories.
# amd.homes /defaults opts:=nodevs,soft,rw,type:=nfs;proto=tcp,
* host==alexis;type:=link;fs:=/home/${key} \ host!=alexis;type:=nfs;rhost:=alexis;rfs:=/home/${key}
