Hi,

We have a large linux cluster with 256 backend nodes, 10 development
nodes, plus a few other mounts/machines of various sorts.

When using autofs in an attempt to mount all backend disks at once we
hit the 256 mounts limitation and only get to about 246 backend disks
mounted - this is a pain :-/

so yes, your message (that I eventually found via Neil Brown) was most
helpful and please add it to the FAQ and also into linux/Documentation/*
somewhere.

also, can you guess whether 2.5/2.6 will lift the lame 256 mounts
limit... ??

cheers,
robin

ps. please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed to the list
