http://unix.stackexchange.com – I just upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. Before that I backed up my autofs config which worked fine. I appended the line from my old /etc/auto.master to the new one: +dir:/etc/auto.master.d +auto.master /mnt /etc/auto.sshfs uid=1000,gid=1000,--timeout=30,--ghost,--verbose my /etc/auto.sshfs looks like this: mymount -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 :sshfs\#myuser@mydomain:/mnt/mymount but the folder wont mount. The relevant entries from my /var/log/syslog are this: Oct 19 00:17:56 laptop automount[1250]: attempting to mount entry /mnt/mymount Oct 19 00 (HowTos)

Stories similar to autofs with sshfs not working anymore

I have this line in auto.master :

/- /etc/auto.misc --timeout=30

and in auto.misc :

/media/autofs/winlinux -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1 /media/autofs/BACKUP -fstype=auto :/dev/sdc1 /media/autofs/NAS -fstype=cifs,user=xxxxxxxx,password=xxxxxxxxxx,iocharset=utf8,workgroup=workgroup ://192.168.1.253/volume_1-1

Each time I browse /media/autofs, ALL entries in auto.misc are mounted

(crosspost from SF, where I wasn't getting much joy)

I have a CentOS 6.2 box up and running and have configured autofs to automount Windows shares under a /mydomain folder, using various howtos on the internet.

Confused with autofs and NFS 33 weeks 2 days ago

I have had a good read through the wiki and tried some autofs configs but I cannot seem to get what I want to work.I have an NFS server ( 192.168.0.10 ) with an exported directory ( /mnt/Files ) that I would like to automount on my local machine under /mnt/Files and to be mountable by any userI have edited /etc/autofs/auto.master to look like this:# Sample auto.master file # Format of this file: #

Goal

I have a USB drive -- let's say the drive's ID is /dev/disk/by-id/thediskid I would like to mount the drive -- by ID -- to a folder (let's call it /MOUNT_FOLDER)

Question

What is the best way to do this using autofs?

Current Attempt

/etc/auto.master:

+auto.master /localam auto.linux /[another mount] [auto.othermount] --timeout=5 -- ghost /MOUNT_FOLDER auto.ext-usb --timeout=5 / -

11.2 issues keep piling up...

I had an NFS server on my desktop and used autofs to mount it on my laptop using openSUSE 11.1 on both. Now I installed 11.2 on both, made exactly identical settings and configurations, copied the same config files, even gone further and turned off the firewall - CAN'T mount!

Is it possible to auto-mount a remote FS using sshfs upon instantiating a proper VPN connection?

Allow me to explain the scenario, I'm working remotely, to do that it helps if I can mount my home dir from a server in the office. To do that I need to vpn in. So within network manager I select the relevant VPN and connect.

autofs doesn't work 3 years 11 weeks ago

I'm trying to mount my local hard disk automatically with autofs ... I have modified the files auto.master and auto.misc in accordance with the instructions and restarted the autofs, but nothing changes ...

see below the modified auto.master and auto.misc: /etc/auto.master

Code: # # Sample auto.master file

I recently moved to a new box and haven't been able to get the remote mount to work outside home.

SSH works both inside and outside the router. I can run ssh for user@mydomain.homedns.org be prompted for my password and find a terminal.

Whenever I boot up I get this message in my /var/log/messages:

2011-01-20T02:08:05.416551-06:00 localhost automount[1994]: lookup(file): failed to read included master map auto.master.

I don't understand why because the auto.master is there:

Code: localhost three # cat /etc/auto.master # # Sample auto.master file # This is an automounter map and it has the following format
