amd.map

Hi!

since this isn't documented in any way: what do I have to put into a
amd map-file?

The man page referred to at different places mentions map-files, but
doesn't document them. The only thing I have is the original
"/etc/amd.map". The FreeBSD handbook isn't helpful either. Just the
usual reference to man "amd(" and man "amq(2)". Which both do not
explain what I would have to put into a map-file.

"amd.conf" is documented to some extend.

Now here is what I've set up:
/etc/rc.conf:
| amd_enable="YES"
| amd_flags="-F /etc/amd.conf"
| amd_map_program="NO"

/etc/amd.conf:
| [ globals ]
| auto_dir = /.amd_map
| browseable_dirs = yes
| log_file = syslog
| log_options = all
| map_type = files
| pid_file = /var/run/amd.pid
| plock = yes
| print_pid = yes
| restart_mounts = yes
| search_path = /etc/amd
|
| [ /net ]
| map_name = net
|
| [ /usr/local/distfiles ]
| map_name = distfiles

for the map "net" I used the original "/etc/amd.map":
| # $FreeBSD: src/etc/amd.map,v 1.8 1999/09/13 17:09:07 peter Exp $
| #
| /defaults \
| type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/host;rhost:=${key}
| * opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,vers=2,proto=udp,nosuid,nodev

But now I need to know, what to put into my map "distfiles"?
This directory is located on "hazel" at "/usr/ports/distfiles" and I
want it to mount if someone changes to "/usr/ports/distfiles".

Without my own, new amd-mountpoint "/etc/ports/distfiles", this
works. But I want to extend it ...!

This one i can answer precisely since i have a working amd config

asmodee% cd /etc
asmodee% cat amd.conf
[global]
auto_dir = /.amd
log_file = /var/log/amd.log
log_options = all
map_type = file
search_path = /etc

[/Cd]
map_name = amd.cdrom

# For nfs mounts

[/Net]
map_name = amd.net
asmodee% cat amd.cdrom
cdrom type:=cdfs;opts:=ro,nosuid;dev:=/dev/acd0c;fs:=${autodir}/cdrom
asmodee% cat amd.net
/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
* opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,nosuid,nodev,soft

Hope it is easy to understand, the cdrom will be mounted under /Cd
and the NFS mounts will appear under /Net.
