Hi I want automount nfs shares.

Here are the details:
Server:
---------
Share contents: /dir1/dir2/sub1, /dir1/dir2/sub2 & so on
Server /etc/exports:
/dir1/dir2 *(rw,sync)

Client:
--------
1) mount sub1 in /dir1/sub1 (Not as /dir1/dir2/sub1)

This should be done using autofs.

How to do this???

read the man page on fstab and on mount in general

1) check autofs service is running

2) check the file /etc/auto.master and look for a file that is mentioned
normally it is /etc/auto.misc, if its the same use that or you can also add or change to a new file of your choice.

3) open the second file and mention the details of the share.
the default /etc/auto.misc contains the sample format in which the data has to be entered
or you can do
# man /etc/auto.master

best regards,

Hi,

Not that i dint tried..But, I am fed up with this problem.Trying from past 3 weeks..But no solution..

Here is what i tried:
Server: /etc/exports
/dir1/dir2 *(rw,sync)

Client:
/etc/auto.master:
/dir1 /etc/auto.home

/etc/auto.home:
* -fstype=nfs <server>:/dir1/dir2/&

And when I try to access the sub1, I get the error:
No such file or dir...

I wanted this solution for NIS user login..

So, Is it possible to mount the sub-dirs of server onto single dir in client???????
If so, what shud be my auto.home & auto.master map entries?????

Meson,

Understand the question...

I want it using autofs....

1- on server
create the directories
mkdir /dir1/dir2/sub1
mkdir /dir1/dir2/sub2
vim /etc/exports
/dir1/dir2 *(rw)
:wq
service nfs restart
###########be sure there is no errors



2- on clients
vim /etc/auto.master
/misc /atuo.misc

2- vim /etc/auto.misc

dir -rw server:/dir1/dir2
:wq
#### be sure there is folder /misc
cd /misc
service autofs restart
######## sure that there is no errors
cd dir
####### then you will see the tow directories sub1 & sub2

Just throw your mount arguments in /etc/rc.local

This will cause them to mount upon system startup.
