Description Dmitri Pal 2011-12-15 22:54:49 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #732791 +++

Description of problem:

IPA Automount configuration: Is it possible to reference an automount
 map from another location? E.g. under Policy -> Automount -> Add map
 -> Parent Map: <reference to other location>.auto.data

 Example: Let's say you have the following automount locations defined
 in IPA: NewYork, Washington, Miami. Each location has it's own
 auto.data map mounted under /data.

 Then making a common automount map in all the locations called
 auto.global, mounted at /global, each referencing the auto.data maps
 from the different IPA locations?

 /global/washington -> Washington's auto.data map
 /global/newyork -> NewYork's auto.data map
 /global/miami -> Miami's auto.data map

 I'm not looking for the configuration of the /global map to be
 automatic, a manual configuration for pointing to each locations
 auto.data map would do just fine.
