Subject: 3.1.9 completion problems: automounter
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 10:36:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200009111436.KAA02215@soup.ads.apexinc.com> (raw)
I have /home set up to use an automounter. Therefore, directories
under /home doesn't exist until I specifically access them. As an
example, we have a directory called /home/sysadmin. If I type
ls /home/sysadmin/
and hit TAB, I get no completions because zsh doesn't appear to
attempt to access /home/sysadmin at this point. It only accesses
/home to see whether sysadmin exists, which it doesn't. I have to do
something explicit to access /home/sysadmin first before I can use
completion.
Under tcsh, ls /home/sysadmin/ TAB works because tcsh actually
accesses /home/sysadmin before deciding whether it exists or not.
I'd like to know whether there is a way to get zsh to try to access
/home/sysadmin before deciding that there are no completions that
start from it. Note: I am NOT looking for a way to type /home/sys TAB
and get sysadmin. I am only looking for a way to get zsh to try
accessing the directory before deciding that it doesn't exist.
