I've got a problem... I have a CD-ROM jukebox in which is stored some 100+ CDs. They're mounted automatically via the automounter with an executeable map. That part works well. To show people what is available, I have symlinks from another directory to all the possible CD volumes. However, if I look at that directory via Samba, the windoze box hangs for an extended period of time as it does a STAT on all the symlinks, each of which forces the mounting of the disc it references and taking about 10 seconds of time. Any ideas on how I can avoid this or at least cache the result?
