I run amd - on debian.. works like a charm!
Doesnt require kernel automount support
Only one annoyance I found.
Server NFS exports - fileserver:/data1/iso
Client
Manually mount the export on /iso and do a ls
see all the contents of /data/iso
Automount it by "ls /iso/somefolder"
ls /iso
dont see any of the contents of /data/iso
========== FROM DEBIAN ============
apt-cache show am-utils
Description: automounter utilities from 4.4BSD (includes amd)
Am-utils is a set of tools for automounting filesystems: mounting a
filesystem "on demand" when it is first referenced, and unmounting it
later if it is no more needed.
.
Am-utils contains the amd automounter.
