ok, I am running slack 12 (primarily as a console user) and now that I got a internal USB multicard reader I would like to get autofs up and running. I have managed to get alien bob's rc.autofs onto my system and got that running here are my files:
auto.master:
Code:
/mnt/automount /etc/auto.mnt --timeout 3
and my auto.mnt
Code:
CFcard -fstype=auto :/dev/usbCF1
SDcard -fstype=auto :/dev/usbSD1
SMcard -fstype=auto :/dev/usbSM1
MScard -fstype=auto :/dev/usbMS1
now, originally I had made directories in /mnt/automount/ for the mount points, after I ran 'rc.autofs start' those directories disappeared. which only makes sense since I'm mounting a filesystem at /mnt/automount
I only have 1 question, how do I get those directories back... I mean I have cards in the CF SD and MS slots and when I do a 'ls -a /mnt/automount' all I get is '.' and '..' but if I do a 'ls /mnt/automount/CFcard than it shows up. but I have to try to access the directory before it shows up there, i was under the impression that as soon as I accessed /mnt/automount it would consult the map file and create the directories of the entries in auto.mnt
am I wrong in thinking that it works this way, if I am this system doesn't make much sense.
