Date: Thu, 12 Jan 1995 19:54:36 GMT Lines: 31 Hi. I've been trying (and failing) to get AMD (automounter) to run on my FreeBSD 2.0 System. I looked at the 4.4Lite System Managers Manual (from Usenix group/O'Reily) and it did not help. Specifically, I run into two problems. First, I cannot get the automounting of machine/path. Ie. I set up directory "/remote" as an automount point, where "/remote/host1/path1" would automount as if I had manually nfs-mounted "host1:/path1" I did not try (having no reason to) mounting the root parition from Host1. The second problem being that once I had run AMD it hosed all further NFS connections incoming to machine (other machines could nfs-mount my drives fine). Any remote path that I had nfs-mounted hung when I tried to access it. The only types of drives that I want to automount are NFS drives. If anyone has gotten this type of configuration to work, could you send me a copy of your "amd.conf" (or equivalent) file. Thanx in advance. -coranth ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Coranth Gryphon Karma: You can't take it with you, but you can send it on ahead.
