qatshweepw% attach adedev
attach: timeout while contacting mount daemon on odysseus.MIT.EDU (for filesystem adedev)
while mapping - try attach -n
attach: Warning, mapping failed for filesystem adedev,
continuing with read-only mount.
attach: filesystem adedev (odysseus.MIT.EDU:/u3/lockers/adedev) mounted on /mit/adedev (read-only)

attach -r
What's wrong:
Why all the garbage messages??
They aren't "garbage messages," every one of them is correct and
reports a valid error.
Also, why is it
suggesting that I use the -n option?? It shouldn't suggest that when
I'm using -r.
Wrong. Even if you mount a filesystem read-only, you may still need
to map to it, for example of you own files in it that are not
world-readable. If you do not want any mapping at all to occur, then
you should be using "alias attach attach -n", not "alias attach attach
-r".
The error messages were correct; I think the problem here is that
you're misunderstanding the -r and -n options. You want -n, but
you're using -r.
