What were you trying to do?
attach AFS filesystems
What's wrong:
attaching one AFS system at the same mountpoint of another
AFS system overwrites the original symlink although 'attach'
shows them both as being mounted. detaching one of the systems
removes the link completely and you're left with it thinking
you have a filesystem attached when you don't.
----Example-----------------------------------------------------
>attach nandrew
attach: /afs/athena/astaff/project/andrew/nexport linked to /mit/andrew for filesystem nandrew
>attach tandrew
attach: /afs/testers/system/andrew/texport linked to /mit/andrew for filesystemtandrew
>attach
filesystem mountpoint user mode
---------- ---------- ---- ----
...
nandrew /mit/andrew njw r
tandrew /mit/andrew njw r
>detach tandrew
detach: tandrew detached
>attach
filesystem mountpoint user mode
---------- ---------- ---- ----
...
nandrew /mit/andrew njw r
>ls -ld /mit/andrew
/mit/andrew not found (No such file or directory)
----End-of-Example-----------------------------------------------------
What should have happened:
attaching an AFS to an existing symlink 'mountpoint' should have
failed
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
attach(1)... documentation for AFS - hah!
