Hi All,

Announcing the second release of the AMD automounter for Linux. This
brings it in line with the latest release from the `amd' camp.

The major linux difference is that this version does not need to be
recompiled for different file systems. The one binary will do. I have
supported this option internally to the linux version and it is not standard
on any other amd platform.

This means you can mount any type of fs supported by the kernel (at compile
time). For example, with a map like

dos-floppy	type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/hda1;opts:=type=msdos,conv=auto
dos-minix	type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/hda1;opts:=type=minix,conv=auto

and started with 

/etc/amd -a /tmp/amd /amd /map_file

You will be able to access two types of your floppy by saying for e.g.
"ls /amd/dos-floppy". If the type= option is left out from the opts line it
will use the compiled default from config/Makefile.linux.

It is now on

    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/amd920824upl61-linux.tar.gz

but may be moved at some time to

    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/misc/amd920824upl61-linux.tar.gz

It is also on nic.funet.fi but it is hidden until the archive maintainer
(Arl) moves it appropriately.

This should be the final patches submitted to the AMD authors.

Warning: You need a fs with > 30 char limit to extract/build the source.

Mitch
