RedHat autofs
hello all,
I have a problem that just seem to show up. I was using autofs to mount home directory. It was working for about two week and now is just tsop working. I rebooted the erver and still not working. I can manually mount the directory but unable to mount via autofs. From the client I had to try to see if its a server problem of client. I did the following:
showmount -e server
/export/home 10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0
then I started autofs said ok
su - larryase
no home directory.
my /etc/auto.home
* -ftype=nfs,soft,intr server:/export/home/&
any clue?

DESCRIPTION

master_prefix

EXAMPLES
To unmount all mounted autofs filesystems:
umount -At autofs
To mount autofs filesystems specified in auto_master(5):
automount
