Well, I have tried floppies with files only, directories only, and a
combination. So far I have stuck with EXT2 file system. Here is one
of the floppies directory at the root of it.
[brian@rlghncwsbms2 brian]$ ls /mnt/floppy
. lib pcmcia.cgz usr
.. lost+found tmp
Aparently I see everything rigth, but probably could be affecting the line
in auto.master the line of /misc, you dont need it.
Remember to stop the autofs with "autofs stop" and then "start" to see
changes...

directories mounted and I haven't any kind of problem.

I need to mount and unmount cd's and floppies automaticly. I have
read that autofs would do this for me. I have tried to configure it
myself to no success.
Can someone tell me how I can do that? Also, can I have multiple cd
drives mount in a certain directory depending on the contents of the
Exaclty what was your problem configuring the autofs?
Explain better what structure do you want with the CD's, if you can do it

Here is what I do manually. I load the cd into a drive and depending
on what cd I put in I type mount /dev/cdrom# /mnt/cdrom/grainger where

I tried to configure the
Ok, please tell me if you run the script that is in:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start
if you so, then run it with the parameter status, it has to say what are
the file system that could be mounted and what are mounted.
Also , you have to creat the base directories, all the ones you put in the
