I'd like to be able to have all /home directories automatically mounted on client machines placed on my nis network.

I'd like to have it all mounted under the normal /home directory however i seem to be having a problem. It doesn't mount the directory and when autofs tries to unmount it deletes my initrd directory causing a kerenel panic.

Here are my config files

#/etc/auto.master
/ auto.home --timeout 600

#/etc/auto.home
home -fstype=nfs 10.1.1.20:/home


this does not work, however if i change auto.master to this

#/etc/auto.master
/nfs auto.home --timeout 600

everything works fine and is mounted /nfs/home but this is not the behavoir i want. I want it all to be at /home. Any idea what is causing this problem or how i could change my config files to work correctly and not delete the initrd directory?

I took a different approach to this and got it working the way i wanted to.


here are the configs i used

#/etc/auto.master
/home auto.home --timeout 600

#/etc/auto.home
* -fstype=nfs 10.1.1.20:/home/&
