automounter

Hi ALL,

Does anyone know how automounting can be disabled in solaris?
(I need to mount the home directory on to a sun machine from another machine.
So I run something like

mount another_machine:/home /home (on my sun)

however i get an error saying device busy)

I was told automouting could be the cause

Your advice would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

if /home from the remote box is already shared out and you want the remote /home directory to be your permanent home directory on the local box ... no need to disable the automounter ...

edit /etc/auto_home and make the automounter mount the remote directory first ... see "man automount" for futher info ...

a quick example ...
Code:
user   localhost:/export/home/&
user1 remotehost:/export/home/& localhost:/export/home/&
*       localhost:/export/home/&    remotehost:/export/home/&
line explanations:
1. the home directory for "user" is his home directory that is automounted from the local box
2. the home directory for "user1" is his home directory that is automounted from the remote box
3. everybody else's home directories are automounted from the local box if available locally and from the remote box if not
