Using the automounter to mount the ISO images on demand had crossed my
mind but I had experienced problems with this when I was setting up
mrepo. That was last week, so the context has been well swapped out. :-/
It's slowly reloading and I am pretty sure now that the autofs problems
I had are not an issue here. I'll give this a try.
Thanks,
Chris

mrepo does some things about leaving ISO's mounted as loopbacks, which I
personally don't like as I am suspicious of loopbacks and don't want to
keep track of which ones are used/free and when.
I do understand the idea of "I want to keep the ISO's around" but it has
not really been a much requested feature.
Here at work we have a huge library of trees (basically every distro
we've ever built) on NFS via autofs and I frequently import that with
--available-as to use as an install source.
