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?

automount

AUTOMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      AUTOMOUNT(8)

NAME

     automount -- mount autofs on the appropriate mount points

SYNOPSIS

     automount [-v] [-c] [-u] [-t timeout]

DESCRIPTION

     automount reads the /etc/auto_master file, and any local or network maps it includes, and mounts autofs on the appropriate mount points to
     cause mounts to be triggered.  It will also attempt to unmount any top-level autofs mounts that correspond to maps no longer found.

OPTIONS

     -v      Print more detailed information about actions taken by automount.

     -c      Tell automountd(8) to flush any cached information it has.

     -u      Unmount all non-busy automounted mounts.  Top-level triggers are preserved.

     -t timeout
	     Set to timeout seconds the time after which an automounted file system will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within that
	     period of time.  The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds).

FILES

     /etc/autofs.conf
	     configuration file for automount and automountd.

     /etc/auto_master
	     The master map contains a list of directories to be controlled by autofs and their associated direct map or indirect maps.
