Thanks for your response. I meant the mount command: sudo mount alfred:/common /common > I've used autofs before and don't recall any commands to get it to > work. The automount command modifies the auto.master file and the file > system would get mounted when the directory is accessed. I have exactly the same auto.master as before: ----------------------------------- # special mount point defined by direct map file /- auto_direct ----------------------------------- and exactly the same auto_direct ----------------------------------- /common -rw,sync alfred:/common ----------------------------------- > Could it be that you don't have the autofs service starting at boot > time? chkconfig --list autofs ----------------------------------- [tim@rose ~]$ chkconfig --list autofs autofs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ----------------------------------- I just checked on another similar (Thinkpad T43) computer running Fedora-12. Automount/autofs works fine on this machine. Thinking about it, I suspect the problem lies in NetworkManager. In both cases the mount is over WiFi. I notice that NM takes longer to start than it used to on the T43 where autofs does not work. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
