Does the automounter support fallback on failures?
I guess not.
like if there was no CIFS host at //server, but there was an NFS host, could it fall back to NFS if CIFS was not found?
But primarily and up-front -- how can I have '//' be a lookup for network file systems?
You cannot. NFS syntax is host:/path, not //host/path.
the Shell has no recognized syntax for NFS. ls localhost:/ ls: cannot access localhost:/: No such file or directory Since ":" is not a reserved character in the filename space, you can't use that path as a filename path. I have seen implementations like: /{net,host}/NFSHOSTNAME/<exports> But since '//' is reserved in POSIX to not be collapsed, it would be nice to be able to use it like on cygwin, where I can access SMBFS drives in bash as simply as: ls //servername/share How can we offer such easy of use on SUSE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
