Subj: 	Re: Little problem with odemount

Dick, I was actually aware of this - you caught the 'odemount' command
in the middle of transition.  We were using a local zk-specific version
of odemount, and we've just switched to a formally supported version,
today.  The ode_fstab format in odemount now allows the line comments
that you saw warnings about.  It turned out that the file format and
the version of odemount we had in place were skewed by a day.  (There
were some line comments however before, so you should have been getting
these warnings before as well ??)

Anyway, the new version of odemount is now in place; please remove your
local version and you should find it works fine and doesn't exhibit
these warnings, and the performance may be better as well.


If you really want to use odemount -all, you'll find you get about 150
mounts - and some of these give access errors, by design.  Probably you
only need very few of these nfs mounts. You might want to consider using
the automount facility if you don't want to manage individual odemounts;
having 150 things mounts when you only need a few could impact your
system performance or resources (though I really don't know the internals
of nfs to know specifically if/how).

Thanks for pointing this out.
