Hi,

I have a lot of symlinks in my home directory like

$HOME/Python  -> /Src/Python

Now, I'd like to not mount /Src on default.

How can I set up my system (using autofs ?) to automatically mount /Src if such a symlink is accessed
like   cd    $HOME/Python


Since I didn't find a similar configuration on the net, I've come up with the following solution (after some trial and error)

First, I've replaced all symlinks by empty directories of the same name.

My     /etc/autofs/auto.master      contains (the only uncommented line)

/-    /etc/autofs/auto.local

and /etc/autofs/auto.local contains, e.g.

/Src      -fstype=ext4,exec,suid,noatime      :/dev/sdc3

/home/jarausch/Python -fstype=bind,exec,suid,noatime :/Src/Src/Python


I hope this helps others,
Helmut
