[Openmcl-devel] Opening files on automounted file systems

[Daniel Weinreb]

Gary,

I tried doing "strace emacs" and then doing the "open"
call.  Under strace, it succeeds!  I have no idea how
to explain that.

Does anyone else on this mailing list use Linux and
have remote mounted files?

Thanks,

-- Dan
