Autofs

Automount home directories

/etc/auto.master

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

2. Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs

+dir:/etc/auto.master.d </source>

/etc/auto.master.d/home.autofs

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash> /home /etc/auto.master.d/home.map </source>

/etc/auto.master.d/home.map

Mount homes from different locations. <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

• :/data/home/& nfs.server.de:/home/&

</source> or from a server that supports NFSv4.1: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

• -proto=tcp,vers=4.1 nfs.server.de:/home/&

</source>

The asterisk marks any dir in /home/* should be matched by this rule. The ampers and is replaced by the part which was matched by *. So if you enter /home/a the automounter searches local for /data/home/a which will be mounted when found. <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. cd /home/a
2. mount -v | grep /home/a

/data/home/a on /home/a type none (rw,bind) </source>

For another /home/b which is on the nfs server it looks like this: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. cd /home/b
2. mount -v | grep /home/b

nfs.server.de:/home/b on /home/b type nfs (rw,addr=172.16.17.24) </source>

/etc/auto.master.d/mycifsshare.autofs: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> /data/cifs /etc/auto.master.d/mycifsshare.map </source> /etc/auto.master.d/mycifsshare.map: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> mycifsshare -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/etc/samba/mycifsshare_credentials,uid=<myuser>,forceuid ://192.168.1.2/mycifsshare </source>
