Avoiding Mount-Point Conflicts

If you have a local disk partition mounted on /src and you also want to use the autofs service to mount other source directories, you might encounter a problem. If you specify the mount point /src, the service hides the local partition whenever you try to reach it.

You need to mount the partition somewhere else; for example, on /export/src. You would then need an entry in /etc/vfstab like:

/dev/dsk/d0t3d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s5 /export/src ufs 3 yes - 

and this entry in auto_src:

terra		terra:/export/src 

where terra is the name of the computer.
