- I tried mounting the Washington Univ. St. Louis archive (wuarchive.wustl.edu)
- via /Net NFS mounts, but some of the directories appears empty when accessed.
- I think this is because of the way directries are structured at wuarchive, and
- the order of autonfsmounts are not right, for example:
-
- /archive/usenet is mounted before /archive is mounted. The later mount
- that is closer to the root of directory tree must be over-riding the
- previous nfs mounts.
-
- My question is how do I specify in NetInfo to mount /archive first BEFORE
- /archive/usenet, /archive/mirrors, etc are mounted?
-
- Nidump shows the mount order correctly, but actual mounts seem to take place
- in the reverse order. Why and how do I change the order of autonfsmounts?
-
- Thanks.
