Hi

Auto mounts (NFS) are not working.

when we create and add mountpoints in /etc/auto.home then it will work what could be the problem

create folders as mount points like
mkdir /mnt/auto
mkdir /mnt/cars and so on
edit fstab and add there blkid id's , not /dev/SDx names like sda5 coz they get changed in time

in terminal run as root
blkid

example

Quote:

gabriel@Desktop ~ $ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="05d864d7-9db1-413b-93e1-d23b954b3233" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="f1ad8804-428d-40be-a6a4-e9ebd3e59e95" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Stuff" UUID="f5aa262c-7414-4382-8d48-3996ee8ef88b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="b20f23d4-511a-496f-be7a-7629a53df00b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb3: UUID="68C924F64F9C685C" TYPE="ntfs"

edit fstab and add there mount point

sudo nano /etc/fstab

UUID=f5aa262c-7414-4382-8d48-3996ee8ef88b /media/Stuff ext4 defaults 0 0

my uuid is reported by blkid and /media/Stuff is my mount point

save it and reboot, your partition should be mounted at startup , and afterwards using root user can change mount point permisions as it belongs to root user
