amd mounting local filesystem
Hi!
Lately I am having (not so much) fun with amd. I am trying to get
it to mount a local filesystem on a mount point of *my* choice.
First I tried this and int works fine:
-------- /etc/amd/amd.master ------------------------
-r -a /amd /home /etc/amd/amd.home
-----------------------------------------------------
-------- /etc/amd/amd.home --------------------------
students type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/sda6;opts:=type=ext2,rw,defaults
#
#
#
users -opts:=rw,nosuid \
host==samson;type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/vg01/users \
host!=samson;type:=nfs;rfs:=/home/users;rhost:=samson
#
# links
#
research type:=link;fs:=users;sublink:=research
guests type:=link;fs:=users;sublink:=research
-------------------------------------------------------
This setup mounts /dev/sda6 under /amd/<localhost>/home/students
and makes the link /home/students that points to that
mount point.
Now what I want is to specify a different mount point,
as I understand, by using the fs:=<other mount point> option
in the 'students' map entry. I would like the partition
/dev/sda6 to be mounted under /home/students, so I
suplied fs:=/home/students. But this did not work. It
caused the /home directory to be inaccessible. If I
tried `cd /home`, cd just hung there and it looks like
I wasn't able to do anything about it. Please tell me
what am I doing wrong.
Now I come to the second thing that annoyed me very much.
After `cd /home` hung, I wasn't able to get the system to
behave itself again. Killing amd and eveything I thought
had anything in common with the problem solved nothing.
I had to reboot the machine. I hate rebooting the machine.
It spoils my uptime. To be more precise: the system worked
ok, but anything that touched /home, just froze.
feri.
