I'm trying to use autofs in its simplest possible form, following
examples in Red Hat's documentation, to mount an nfs directory from my
desktop pc to my notebook. Everything seems to be in place because I
can mount the nfs export manually (at the command line or with
/etc/fstab) with no problem. I want to do this because I connect my
notebook to three different networks (or sometimes I don't connect to a
network) and on startup, the notebook seems to take forever looking for
the networks (to mount smbfs/nfs/ncpfs directories) that arent' there.
I'm hoping that autofs will reduce boot time. To get started, I tried a
simple one. Here's how I've set it up:
Server (Desktop PC):
/etc/exports:
/home/sbrown 192.168.2.3(rw,sync)
Notebook:
/etc/auto.master:
/misc /etc/auto.misc
/etc/hosts:
192.168.2.4 dadlx
/etc/auto.misc:
dad -rw,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 dadlx:/home/sbrown
you have written dad in this line where it is dadlx
dad -rw,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 dadlx:/home/sbrown
you can replace dad with * .
* -rw,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 dadlx:/home/sbrown
I think that should solve ur problem.

The '*' doesn't seem to be working. Anything else you can think of?
