Solaris Client Script and lofs File Systems
Henrik,
I should have spotted this aaaaages ago, but have only just noticed while reviewing the status pages post my 4.2.0 upgrade.
We use the automount facility in Solaris for home directories. So the users home is set to /home/user, but is actually contained in /export/home/user. This allows the /export/home to be shared both locally and via NFS for a central home directory across multiple servers. The automountd process automagically creates a loopback or NFS mount of /export/home/user on /home/user when the file system is accessed depending on how /etc/auto_home is configured.
Which leads me to the following suggestion: as each /home/user entry shows in the mount table, but is actually the exact same information as the /export/home file system, the hobbitclient-sunos.sh script should add ^lofs to the list of file system types to exclude.
I apologise if this is a bit disjointed - it's quite not as "summery" down here in the southern hemisphere as it is up there, and my head is all stuffy from a cold.
Cheers, Andy.
PS - apologies for the following :-(

Yep, done.

Well, seems like the summer is taking a break up here also. Temps are in the 60's (16-20 deg. Celsius), and all of the rain we were missing in July has come down on us in just 48 hours. Plus what we usually get during all of August.
Doesn't help with your cold, but at least you now know that weather is almost just as miserable for me :-) But it does make it a bit easier to go back to work after the summer holidays.
Regards, Henrik
