I'm trying to automount a USB/firewire drive. My /etc/auto.master contains: /test /etc/auto.test And my /etc/auto.test contains: test1 -fstype=ext3 :/dev/sda1 >From my HOWTO reading, I assume automount should now create /test/test1, within which should be the contents of /dev/sda1. But when I plug in the HD, although ls / does show the /test directory, /test itself is empty. Running /sbin/service autofs status gives me: Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /test file /etc/auto.test Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /test file /etc/auto.test I can mount /dev/sda1 manually (using mount -t ext3 etc) with no problems, but the automount doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?
