Trying autofs. No luck getting it to work so far. Looking at the man
page and google, but not sure what I'm doing wrong.

My auto.master has:
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#
#/misc /etc/auto.misc
#
# NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the
# "nosuid" and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev"
# options are explicitly given.
#
#/net -hosts
#
# Include central master map if it can be found using
# nsswitch sources.
#
# Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as
# above) in the included master map any keys that are the
# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes
# precedence.
#
+auto.master
/home/user/shares auto.shares


I created an executable /etc/auto.shares and it has:

No need to make it executable; this is only needed for a real shell
script emitting some dynamically calculated data - for an example, take
a look at /etc/auto.net

storage rw 192.168.0.22:/storage
mythtv rw 192.168.0.16:/mythtv

This should look like:

storage -tcp,rw,hard,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 192.168.0.22:/storage
mythtv -tcp,rw,hard,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 192.168.0.16:/mythtv

With this map, you can access e.g. 192.168.0.22:/storage at
/home/user/shares/storage .

Of course, the "tcp", "rsize=" and "wsize=" options depend on your actual
network settings.

You can find all the details about the autofs *maps* in autofs(5).

Start the autofs service.


In /var/log/messages I get nothing, but it doesn't automount either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James

HTH, cheers.
