I am running CentOS 6.3 as a VM on a host which has the same installation. I configured my NFS server and I am guessing it works. I say guessing because I can mount the desired folder with mount command on my client machine. So, when I run:
it mounts the folder at "/neth";however autofs doesn't do the same and I don't even get any error!
my auto.master:
my auto.neth:
I should mention that I have local DNS installed and it work with no problem.
any suggestions?
First please remove the --timeout=60; it's not a mount option nor a map option (it's a command line argument for the Linux automount process).
I am not sure if the option fstype=nfs is allowed, perhaps you should remove that, too.
Then restart automounter and check the mount point with
it should say something with automount (autofs v4) or - (autofs v5).
The automounted directories will appear inside the /neth,
not browsable, unless you have a -browse map option in auto.master:
The previous post wrongly suggested a direct map with /abolute mount points, but your map is an indirect map.
