autofs not working

mssm06 · 01-02-2013, 04:12 PM

Hello,

I'm experiencing the same issue here. I got RHEL 6.2 installed. I've started the autofs service and checking if autofs is working with default settings in /etc/auto.mater and /etc/auto.misc. However, when I go into /misc directory there is nothing, it is empty. I'm testing to check if default mounting of cd works.

Whenever I mount CD/DVD, it gets mount automatically in /media directory. I can unmount and mount it back to any other directory. however, /misc directory doesn't contain cd sub-directory.

Thanks,
mssm

Show us your /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc files. In my system (Ubuntu) all entries are disabled by default by # on front

Code:

#/misc  /etc/auto.misc
