Great! Glad it worked ok. > So, I guess my next question is with this setup, how do I umount them, > or at least make sure that they are flushed if I shutdown or reboot, > or is this somehow done automagically? They are standard NFS mounts so if you want to unmount it, you can just do "sudo umount /net/frodo/pathname". Automount, however, will automatically unmount it after a specified timeout. The timeout is specified in the auto.master file. Add a "--timeout=nn" to the line where you specify the auto.net file. For example: /net /etc/auto.net --timeout=60 This will automatically unmount the files after 60 seconds of no files being opened on the specified share (which, I believe, is the entire machine, not individual shares within the machine). At shutdown time, though, since it is a standard NFS mount, it will just be unmounted with all other mounts like normal.
