Autofs5 has this capability but is not included in SLES10. Talk to you support team about getting the necessary changes backported to the SuSE kernel and updated autofs packages. > 2) Is there a reason I cannot automount certain NFS filesystems remotely > from autofs but it will work from the command line? > > Usually this is because of the mount options specified via autofs versus defaults. For example, in autofs are you specifying a tcp mount but from the command line it defaults to UDP? Mount it by hand and look at the output /proc/mounts for that mount point. Are the options the same as what are specified in your autofs maps and or sysconfig file? If not, that may be the source or your problem.
