Thanks for the reply. My auto.master file looks like this.
/mnt/cdrom /etc/auto.cdrom --timeout 2 /mnt/floppy /etc/auto.floppy --timeout 1 /mnt/usbdrive /etc/auto.usbdrive --timeout 2 My auto.cdrom looks like this. cdrom -fstype=iso9660,user,suid :/dev/cdrom I did a lshal -monitor to make sure the physical devices were at least being detected when I inserted them to the USB. I did a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status" under Fedora 8 and only got this. automount (pid 1524) is running... I did the same call under Fedora 5 and got this. Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/cdrom file /etc/auto.cdrom /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/floppy file /etc/auto.floppy /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/usbdrive file /etc/auto.usbdrive Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/cdrom file /etc/auto.cdrom /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/floppy file /etc/auto.floppy /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /mnt/usbdrive file /etc/auto.usbdrive This output leads me to believe the auto.master is not loading correctly under Fedora 8.
