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!
Fred

You just have to create two "unit files" to describe the mount. One holds the information for a static mount in fstab and the other is the automount entry that launches the first when its mount point is accessed. http://blog.tomecek.net/post/automount-with-systemd/ So you'd need two files, mnt-syno\x2dfredex.mount and mnt-syno\x2dfredex.automount, both in /etc/systemd/system. You'll need an Options= clause in the .mount file for your CIFS mount options. Note that the .mount file is not enabled, so it doesn't mount at boot time. Enable the .automount file to start at boot and it will start the .mount file on access. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

I was stuck on looking for autofs tutorials, having forgotten (if I ever knew) that systemd had subsumed that feature. thanks again!
