Having a problem getting up and rolling with amd. I'll admit up front that the amd.conf and amd manuals don't work well with my brain and is more then a little confusing if not vague. For instance in the man page for amd.conf it says the following. auto_dir (string, default=/a) Same as the -a option to amd. This sets the private directory where amd will create sub-directories for its real mount points. The man page for amd says the following for the -a option. -a temporary-directory Specify an alternative location for the real mount points. The default is /a. I don't even know what a temporary direcroty is or why you would need one. I thought it would work much like simply mounting a remote fs with the mount command and it would put it where specified. Currently I can get a local cdrom to mount but it's all screwy in how it does it. I'm sure it's me so I'm not slamming amd on this just not understanding the whole process and sequence of events of mounting with amd. I have very simple conf files for this. And quite possitive they are screwed up somehow. Here they are. /etc/amd.conf [ global ] auto_dir = /a log_file = /var/log/amd log_options = all map_type = file search_path = /etc [/cdrom] map_name = amd.cdrom browsable_dirs = yes /etc/amd.cdrom cdrom type:=program;\ mount:="/sbin/mount mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom";\ unmount:="/sbin/umount umount -f /cdrom" Thing is, I cd into /cdrom and there is another dir in there named cdrom inwhich I have to cd into that one to get to the cd. BUT, once I cd back out of the directory I can go straight into /cdrom and the cdrom directory that was in there is now gone and the cd contents are shown. Confussion abounds. Thanks for any pointers. Sorry for the long mail. Keith ================================= Keith W.
