Subject: Do NFS "net" mounts work in Leopard?
To: Macos X-Server <email@hidden>
My OSXS Tiger server is NFS exporting external disks as /Volumes/
Users1, etc. If I create NFS mounts on a Leopard client using the
"bg, intr, soft, net" options, the client is supposed to automatically
create a mount point at /Network/Servers/myserver.mydomain.edu/
Volumes/
Users1 and do automounts there. (I'm actually using Marcel Bresink's
NFS Manager to create the fstab entry. These are the options it came
up with.)
In fact, it does create the mount points automatically. But the mount
fails. If I try to cd (or otherwise access) the directory, I get the
error "-bash: cd: Users1: No such file or directory".
If instead of a "net" mount, I mount on a fixed point (say, /Users1),
the mount works just fine.
All of this worked ok before I upgraded the client from Tiger to
Leopard this week. I did not touch the server's configuration. Did I
do something wrong, or are "net" mounts just broken in Leopard?

(I've also tried hard mounts, interruptible or not.)
