Autofs

[pwatk]

I'm trying to set up a simple automount for usb sticks and cd/dvd's on a box that has little more than a core installation.

I've added the following to /etc/auto.master

Code: Select all

/usb    /etc/auto.usb

and this to /etc/auto.usb (as per the instructions at http://www.autofs.org).

Code: Select all

*	-fstype=auto,sync       :/dev/sd&

Although the /misc and /usb directories are created when I start the autofs service, nothing is mounted when connected to the system.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I've never used autofs but in most cases you want to mount /dev/sdX1 so perhaps you need "/dev/sd&1" in your config?
