Media map (to automount local block devices) is simply unsupported on
NetBSD and DragonFly too. See BUGS section in auto_master(5) or very
bottom part of
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2018/01/03/msg055054.html


Btw, I think this change by Christos introduced regression.
https://www.mail-archive.com/source-changes-full@netbsd.org/msg93849.html

I haven't tried it on NetBSD, but the same change I once applied to
DragonFly was causing regression and I later reverted it. It makes autofs
unable to unmount under some settings. FreeBSD does it this way.

Yes, typing mistake on e-mail, not actually affecting my rc.conf

Thanks! I've read rc(8) meanwhile and now everything's clear

Ignoring the typo that rhialto pointed out (perhaps just in the e-mail) those 
are not what you need.

What is needed is

autofs=YES

The "name" in the rc.d/* scripts is not what matters, the "rcvar" is.

You may have a typo in autOmountd.

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply.
First of all I apologize for the multiple e-mails I ended up sending: The SSL 
ceritificate for GMX' SMTP server seems to have expired,and as a consequence 
neomutt was returning  an unaccetpable certificate error; normally an emeail 
client wouldn't send a message under similar circumstances but it look like 
neomutt did. Now that I now it, I'll pay more attention next time and see if I 
can call GMX support.

Anyway that's my /etc/auto_master:

/media /etc/autofs/usb.map --timeout=10

Here's my indirect map (/etc/autofs/usb.media)

sd0e -fstype=auto,rw,async,nodev,user,nosuid,noatime,umask=002 :/dev/sd0e

It seems that that the problem was somehow related to rc.conf: If I echoed 
automount=YES, autmountd=YES and autounmountd=YES to /etc/rc.conf, this didn't 
result in the services being enbled at the next boot, as confirmed by running:

service automount restart

which returned in 

$autofs is not enabled - see rc.conf(5)

Strange, as looking at the respective rc scripts in /etc/rc.d, the daemons' 
names are correct

Anyway, if I start the service manually, using onerstart, it works:

$(df -h | grep map)

Filesystem Size Used  Avail Mounted on
map /etc/autofs/usb.media  0B   0B100%  /media


Best whishes,
Edmond

I've used it with nfs. Can you share the example that is not working
for you?

current status of autofs?

[Edmond Dantès]

Hi,
Today I tried to get automount(d) running, using my usual indirect
map experimented in FreeBSD/Linux, but autofs doesn't seem to apply it,
as witnessed by a quick `df -h`. The -media special map doesn't seem to
work either. Pluggin-in any device doesn't expectably result in it being
mounted. What is the current state of the project? Has anyone got this
runnning?

Best regard,
Edmond
