Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Normal automount behavior or not? Post 302541776 by homeyjoe on Monday 25th of July 2011 04:19:09 PM

Normal automount behavior or not?

I'm trying to setup automount on a redhat system and it's behaving differently than on the AIX systems I have it configured on. Here's what I'm seeing on the Redhat system:
Code:
# mount | grep home
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvhome on /home type ext3 (rw)

# ls /home
user1
user2
user3

# service autofs start
# ls /home
user1

# mount | grep home
NFSserver:/home/user1 on /home/user1 type nfs (rw,addr=10.1.1..1)

So the /home filesystem is unmounted and /home/user1 is mounted instead.
On the AIX system it doesn't mount /home/user1 in place on /home it mounts it in addition to /home, like so:
Code:
# mount | grep home
/dev/hd1     /home    jfs2  Jun 01 10:51  rw,log=/dev/hd8
NFSserver  /home/user1  /home/user1  nfsv3  Jul25 15:03  rw,soft,intr

Here's my /etc/auto.master on Redhat:
/home /etc/auto.home

And auto.home
user1 -fstype=nfs NFSserver:/home/user1


I hope this isn't too confusing. Do I have auto.home wrong?

TIA

The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system. All file systems cached under the same cache as cachefs_mount_point will be logged. OPTIONS

The example below changes the logfile of /home/sam to /var/tmp/samlog: example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam /var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile. The example below verifies the change of the previous example: example% cachefslog /home/sam /var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory. The example below halts logging for the /home/sam directory: example# cachefslog -h /home/sam not logged: /home/sam EXIT STATUS
