Hi,
Does setting the autofs timeout=0 create a permanent mount?
What I'm trying to do is get the best of both world;
- Have a persistent mount so that users can use autocompletion.
- utilize the benefits of autofs so that when an NFS resource becomes
unavailable, the system doesn't hang.
I've tried a timeout of 0 but it doesn't seem to work.
A simple solution would be to setup a cron job that runs every 5 minutes and does ls /mount/point > /dev/null
