OK - glad to hear that it's already been acknowledged as an issue! > Right - NFSv4 allows client's to cross filesystem boundaries. > Trond just recently added this support into the linux client (see > http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/erickustarz/20060417). > We're getting closer to adding this to the Solaris client (within > Sun, we call it mirror mounts). Once it's in Solaris it might be possible to hide this stuff from users by having a container with the storage in it, then mount that in different containers for users (and maybe for backup too). > What about using the automounter? yeah, thought of that, but we put some structure in ages ago to get around the possible problems with thousands of entries in one directory - so we have /export/home/NN/username where NN is a 2 digit number. I don't think there's any way to specify an automount map with multiple levels in it. We could do it by having multiple autmount maps but then it all starts getting messy. Steve.
