Jay Berkenbilt" To: zsh-users@sunsite.auc.dk Subject: 3.1.9 completion problems: automounter Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.106) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII 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. -- E.
