But the daemon needs to be conservative in the options it uses because maps may be used with other platforms and unknown or non-standard options can cause mount failures. While Linux mount.nfs(8) has the sloppy option (which maintainers seem to try and remove from time to time) other platforms probably don't. The addr=<address> option isn't listed as a valid option in nfs(5) and neither is it listed in on-line Solaris documentation that I could find so I'm not sure making the daemon use it is a good idea. Maybe there's another way... Note that I do need to be able to mount to a specific IP address while specifying the host name in the mount command but don't know of a way todo it. > > Thanks, > > -Jeff > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in
