I was struggling with the instructions because some things are not defined, and left to the reader to figure out. Not blaming you, all the other instructions I saw have the same issue. but if, for example, there was a clear statement of how/where the name of the local mount point was defined I might have gotten it right, but as it is I had to guess. But I'll go do what you suggest and see what happens. thanks again! -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us Do you not know? Have you not heard?

At least on one CentOS 7 box I set up mounting NFS via autofs (automounter) exactly the same way I was setting them up on CentOS 6, 5,... Didn't even think it might have to be done differently before reading this thread ;-) Valeri > > I see no way to replicate most of the functionality of autofs with this. > > jh Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] using autofs on C-7
Hi all! I'm trying to set up autofs on my C7 netbook so I can automount a cifs share (actually two) from my NAS box, and because when I'm not at home I don't want it attempting to mount it. so I've read several howtos on it, including the one on the CentOS Wiki. but what I've got isn't working right, and I don't know why. I'm trying to follow the "even-better method", but am finding I don't understand the syntax of entries, so I'm flailing around trying different things. so, here's what I have now: in /etc/auto.master: /mnt/syno-fredex /etc/auto.syno-fredex I added /etc/auto.syno-fredex: /mnt/syno-fredex -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/root/.smbcred,defaults,uid=fredex,gid=fredex,noauto,users,exec,vers=3.0 ://nasbox/home my goal is to mount //nasbox/home as /mnt/syno-fredex so I do systemctl restart autofs and it appears to restart (no messages appear). when I then do "ls /mnt/syno-fredex" it doesn't appear to actually get mounted, and /var/log/messages doesn't show anything. I'd appreciate advice on this matter. thanks in advance!
