There was recently some discussion regarding possibly moving
/usr/athena/lib/olc-stock to /mit/olc-stock. If this is the case, then
attach must be able to handle things like the following:
158% !at
attach -m /mit/probe/foo jon
jon: /mit/probe/foo is not a directory
<odie!probe> {/mit/probe}
159% ls -l foo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 probe 8 Jul 14 05:06 foo@ -> /mit/foo
<odie!probe> {/mit/probe}
160% ls -lL foo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 probe 8 Jul 14 05:06 foo@ -> /mit/foo
Basically, the destination directory did not exist. However, attach did
not detect this and create the destination directory. Of course, one
has to be careful to make sure that the destination complies with the
other mount-point rules specified in attach.conf
