How can I set up my system (using autofs ?) to automatically mount /Src if such a symlink is accessed like cd$HOME/Python Since I didn't find a similar configuration on the net, I've come up with the following solution (after some trial and error) First, I've replaced all symlinks by empty directories of the same name. My /etc/autofs/auto.master contains (the only uncommented line) /-/etc/autofs/auto.local and /etc/autofs/auto.local contains, e.g. /Src -fstype=ext4,exec,suid,noatime :/dev/sdc3 /home/jarausch/Python -fstype=bind,exec,suid,noatime :/Src/Src/Python I hope this helps others, Helmut

They will be geared towards NFS, but the same methodology should work for what I think you're wanting to do. From memory (I don't have a system handy that I can check) autofs / automount (it goes by different names) has it's base config file, and a few files that are included for various examples. You'll likely want to add another included file that specifies the paths that you want to automount. As a bonus, automount will unmount the paths after a period of inactivity.
