Following up on such a basic question as Why directories only appear after access, here's another simple one:
If there is an automounted path at e.g.:
/server/vault
and it contains a sub directory:
/server/vault/data
And there is a static mount e.g. at:
/data/
If I were to create a symbolic link pointing to a lower level inside the automounted path like this:
ln -s /server/vault/data /data/server_vault
would users then be able to
ls /data/server_vault/
and the automounter would automatically mount /server/vault?
Is there anything special an admin of the automounter would need to configure? If the /server/vault is an nfs filesystem would this require changes to the configuration?
