Title: Autofs in the Linux Kernel
When: Tuesday, 15 May 2007, 7:30pm - 9:00pm

Claremont WA
Presenter: Ian Kent

*Summary*
Many large scale enterprise deployments include an automounter
implementation. The automounter provides a mechanism for automatically
mounting file systems upon access, and umounting them when they are no
longer referenced. It turns out that the Linux automounter is not
feature-complete, and there are cases where Linux is just plain
incompatible with the implementations from other proprietary vendors.
This presentation looks at the common problems in large-scale Linux
autofs deployments, and offers solutions to these problems. It is the
same presentation given about a year ago but will focus on the
development progress of the new features in autofs version 5 described
in the presentation.
Visitors and friends are most welcome.
*Getting there*
This month's seminar is being held in the 'Futuresphere' of Christ
Church Grammar School, located at:
Christ Church Grammar School

To get to Queenslea Drive from the Freeway, jump off at Mounts Bay
Road then take Stirling Hwy to Claremont (about 10 minutes past UWA).
Having gone through Claremont, you'll see a stone church to the left;
turn immediately left at the next set of lights (Queenslea Drive), and
the school will be directly on your right.
If you have any problems locating the venue, give myself (Patrick
Coleman) a call on 0415 796 725.
