Right. I'm actually too young to be able to witness that original
use case. My personal affection for automounter comes from the
fact that it makes things "lazy" for me. And that property has
applications starting from /media/floppy all the way to not
explicitly mounting 200000 individual NFS servers, yet being
able to always get each and every one of them by simply doing
cd /net/<machine name>.
In Plan9 land you don't need automounter to deal with
/media/floppy. But cd /net/<machine name> is not there.
At least not by default.
Thanks,
Roman.
