Hi,

I've set up autofs according to [url=http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Auto_mount_filesystems_(AUTOFS)#Verify_Manual_Mounting]HOWTO Auto mount filesystems (AUTOFS)[/url]. autofs gets loaded properly at boot, I get no errors at all, but it just doesn't seem to work... When I put a cd in one of my cdroms, no directory is created in /mnt/auto as it should be.

Here's my /etc/autofs/auto.master:

Code:
/mnt/auto       /etc/autofs/auto.auto --timeout=60


My /etc/autofs/auto.auto:

Code:

cdrom   -fstype=iso9660,ro,gid=1001,umask=0727          :/dev/cdroms/cdrom0
cdrom1  -fstype=iso9660,ro,gid=1001,umask=0727          :/dev/cdroms/cdrom1
floppy  -fstype=auto,gid=1001,umask=0707                :/dev/fd0


(group 1001 is just a group so my user can use the device)

And finally a snippet of my /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,user             0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1      /mnt/cdrom1     auto            noauto,user             0 0


Strange that when I manually mount the cd rom, autofs kicks in... Here's what I mean:

before:

Code:

[i]I insert cd-rom in cdrom1[/i]
bash-2.05b$ cd /mnt/cdrom1
bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom1: No such file or directory


After:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ su
Password:
bash-2.05b# mkdir /mnt/test
bash-2.05b# mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/test
mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
bash-2.05b# exit
exit
bash-2.05b$ cd /mnt/cdrom1
bash-2.05b$


See ? no problems now. The sames files in /mnt/test are in /mnt/cdrom1 (which is a link to /mnt/auto/cdrom1, the directory created by autofs). Anybody know what's going on ?

Thanks,
jelly
