When you add a new file system (or a new export at least) to an NFS server that is being accessed through the hosts map, there is no way to tell autofs on the clients to re-read the list of exports. As Ian says, it can't be updated while autofs is still running. The only workaround is to reboot the client systems. Sorry. It affects us too. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
