Below is the contents of my network interfaces file. As you suspected, it is empty and I am using network manager to provide network interface setup for the user, and so I guess the network isn't being brought up early enough to satisfy autofs.
The network manager has long bothered me. I REALLY don't like the fact that essential system configuration such as the network interfaces is stored in GNOME config instead of the nominal configuration files such as /etc/network/interfaces. I found in 12.04 that I am no longer able to directly add lines to /etc/resolv.conf either, as this file gets overwritten by network manager and the information stored elsewhere, where I can't easily see it. root@bar:/etc/network# cat interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994212 Title: ubuntu 12.04 automounts (autofs) not working with ldap maps on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/994212/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
