[Freeipa-users] IPA Automount cross-location support

[Sigbjorn Lie]

Hi,

That still only supports one automount location. Currently, a map has to be redefined in every
automount location if the same map is to be used for several locations.

My request is to be able to share maps between the automount locations, as well as having the per
location maps available today.


Regards,
Siggi
