Yes, my entire disklist is setup in that fashion. I have an awk script that runs out of cron on my amanda server which parses the auto.home autofs map into a disklist in the exact style you have mentioned above. I also then have an auto.backup autofs map which gets parsed as well where I can keep directories to backup which don't belong under /home. -- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
