- The map for gatekeeper isn't the current one. Here's blurb about the
- current NFS setup:
-
- Gatekeeper.DEC.COM:/archive/README.nfs
- Created: 06May92 by Paul Vixie
- Revised: 29Oct92 by Colleen Hawk
-
- Gatekeeper's anonymous FTP archive is exported via read-only NFS to the whole
- universe. To mount it, we recommend the use of the automounter whose table
- should be modified to include...
-
- archive \
- / -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive \
- /.1 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.1 \
- /.2 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.2 \
- /.3 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.3 \
- /.4 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.4 \
- /.5 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.5 \
- /.6 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.6 \
- /.7 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.7 \
- /.8 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.8 \
- /.9 -ro,intr,soft,bg gatekeeper.dec.com:/archive/.9

- Note that the partitions change from time to time; if you get mysterious
- failures after using this successfully for a while, get the latest copy
- of this (README.nfs) file and find out what has changed. Regrettably there
- is no elegant way for us to inform our NFS clients of what has changed.
-
- Note, also, that parts of this archive contain symbolic links to other parts
- of this archive, and that regrettably, some of these symbolic links are
- absolute rather than relative. This means that you will be happier if you
- either mount this stuff on /archive, or make /archive on your computer a
- symbolic link to the place you actually mount it.
-
- If you insist on gumming up your /etc/fstab file with distant and unreliable
- file systems, the syntax you'll need is left as an exercise for you, the
- uninitiated.
-
- Complaints about this can be sent to <gw-archives@pa.dec.com>. Good luck.
