Autofs has a concept of master map ( auto.master(5) ) which can contain lines referring to either direct or indirect maps ( autofs(5) ). /etc/auto.master.d is intended for extending master map, and the files inside it should contain master map entries, not indirect ones like you did below. > Created the directory `mkdir /etc/auto.master.d' > > created /etc/auto.master.d/prj-nfs.autofs like so (as suggested in > auto.master): > > d0 --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/d0 > dv --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/dv Note that it be simplified to: * --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/& Also please note that they give you /etc/auto.net just for your case (i.e. mounting nfs). > *** Jan 08 13:40:45 d0 automount[3676]: syntax error in map near > [ d0 --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42: ] > *** Jan 08 13:40:45 d0 automount[3676]: syntax error in map near > [ projects ] So, what you need to do instead is: # /etc/auto.master /projects-nfs /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=180 # /etc/auto.nfs d0 --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/d0 dv --fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr 191.168.1.42:/projects/dv And since you're using Debian stable you might consider ditch autofs altogether as well and use systemd automounting as described in [1].
