This would allow us to store binaries, with the same name for different architectures, using cdfs. I think the automounting daemon amd (written by Jan-Simon Pendry ) can successfully be used to handle this kind of problems *portably*. It can also be used to support duplicated filesystems. Amd has been ported to all major Unix variants. I think it is compatible with Sun's automounter. I have compiled it on HP-UX but haven't had time to test it yet. It is available for ftp from various sites, but I am sorry, I can't remember where I got it from...
