I've never used autofs and am trying to get it setup.
Following the debian wiki and an Ubuntu howto.
I've installed the pkg:
aptitude search ^autofs|grep ^i
i autofs - kernel-based automounter for Linux
created mount point: mkdir /projects-nfs
I've edited /etc/auto.master by adding this line:
/projects-nfs /etc/auto.master.d/prj-nfs.autofs --timeout=180
Created the directory `mkdir /etc/auto.master.d' and spec'ed in
`/etc/auto.master'.
created /etc/auto.master.d/prj-nfs.autofs like so (as spec'ed in auto.master):
d0 --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/d0
dv --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/dv
Those directories on that host are available.
They reside a solaris (x86) host and set to be available by nfs.
They can be mounted manually{to different dir than above}:
mount -t nfs 2x:/projects/dv /nfs/dv
Checking /nfs/dv... I find it is mounted.
