[Sunhelp] circular recursive search

[Wolfgang Engelien]

Hm,

I guess in my case it is not a problem of circular links.
The automounter mounts the distributed file systems of
itself to /net under /net/servername. Because the root
file system is mounted, there is also a /net/servername/net
directory. Instead of stopping there the server seems to
mount the root file system again so that there is a
/net/servername/net/servername and so on and so on.
So i end up getting lines like
/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/
net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/n
et/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/ne
t/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net
/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/servername/net/
servername/net/servername/net/servername
before I stop it and the find gets never beyond /net/servername.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
