Mounting problems...

[Kim C. Callis]

I have been attempting to have Linux mount home directories from my fileserver. I am using SuSE Linux 7.1 and the FS is running FreeBSD 4.1 CURRENT   On the BSD box, I have a /etc/exports that looks like this   /home    -alldirs    -network 192.168.0    -mask 255.255.255.0   The BSD box does in fact export the directories. But it gets a little wierd when it gets to the Linux box. My auto.home on the Linux box looks like this:   /home    -soft,rw    lcars:/home   I fire up the autofs and nothing... Now, when I manually force a mount then everything seems to work somewhat ok. For whatever reason, /home doesn't mount at /home but /export/home. But if I don't manually mount the directory, then I get nothing. Although there is in fact something mounted at /export/home (this is shown when I do a mount command to see what is mounted. Also on the BSD box, showmount says that it is exporting to the linux box.), when I do an ls, nothing shows up.   I am not using NIS, and I have run out of ideas. Does anyone have a suggestion of what might be wrong?   Kim C. Callis
