- I would like to TFS mount /usr so that the local /usr is searched first and
- then the remote /usr. Unfortunately, it appears that TFS searches the
- last mounted filesystem first. The only ways I can figure to get the
- system booted and have the local /usr searched before the remote /usr are:
-
- 1. TFS mount local /usr
- TFS mount remote /usr
- TFS mount local /usr
-
- The local /usr gets mounted twice and, in a failed search, gets searched
- twice.
-
- 2. Create a minimal /usr with just the stuff necessary to boot the system,
- TFS mount minimal /usr
- TFS mount remote /usr
- TFS mount local /usr
-
- Nothing gets searched twice, since minimal /usr and local /usr contain
- different stuff, and the stuff in minimal /usr is not likely to be needed
- except at boot time(?).
-
- I would appreciate any comments on these setups or different setups and from
- anyone with experience with TFS. I still running SunOS 4.1.1, if it makes
- a difference.
-
- Many thanks.
