/dir1/dir2
host==client1;type:=nfs;rhost:=server1;rfs:=/dirA
This will mount the nfs share server1:/dirA _only_ on client1 at /dir1/dir2
Even if other clients have the same file they will not attempt to mount
the nfs share.
/dir3/dir4
host!=client1;type:=nfs;rhost:=server1;rfs:=/dirB
This will mount the nfs share server1:/dirB on _all_ clients
_except_ client1.
The advantage of this system is that I can have one file only,
for all automounts, which is easy to distribute to all participating
clients. One file == easy to see everything at once, easy to manage.
Is this possible to achieve with autofs ?
I haven't seen anything either in the docs or on the web.
I could indeed deny mounting from the exports file but this would
be a workaround not a proper solution.
Cheers,
