Each entry in a direct map has the syntax
key [mount-options] location
where key is the full pathname of the mount point; mount-options is a comma-separated list of options that regulates the mounting of the resource specified in the entry; and location is the location of the resource, specified as server:pathname. Specifying multiple mounts and locations is discussed in the sections ``Specifying multiple mounts'' and ``Specifying multiple locations''.
The mount-options can be any of the options that can be specified with the mount command, except for the options fg and bg. For a list of valid options, see the mount(NADM) manual page. For a sample direct map, refer to ``Example: direct map''.
The following is a typical direct map:
/usr/local \
/bin -ro,soft ivy:/export/local/sun3 \
/share -ro,soft ivy:/export/local/share \
/src -ro,soft ivy:/export/local/src
/usr/man -ro,soft oak:/usr/man \
rose:/usr/man \
willow:/usr/man
/usr/fun -ro,soft peach:/usr/games
/var/spool/news -ro,soft pine:/var/spool/news
/usr/frame -ro,soft redwood:/usr/frame1.3 \
balsa:/export/frame
The third entry means that the remote resource /usr/games on
the server named peach should be soft mounted read-only on the
local mount point /usr/fun. Whenever a user tries to access a
file or directory that is part of the /usr/fun directory tree,
the automounter reads the direct map, mounts the resource from server
peach onto the mount point /tmp_mnt/usr/fun on the
local system, then creates a symbolic link between
/tmp_mnt/usr/fun and /usr/fun. The user is unaware
that the mount operation is taking place, and the resource appears to
the user to be at /usr/fun.
Note that, in the first entry, more than one mount point is specified, and more than one location is specified.
