3.1.11.3. Autofs mount

-

Key points to auto mount:

• Load the vfat module to allow /etc/auto.misc to contain -fstype=auto:

       # modprobe vfat # prior to the floppy access attempt
        ... or to automate this setting,
       # echo "vfat" >> /etc/modules
        ... and reboot the system.
  

• Set /etc/auto.misc as follows:

       floppy -fstype=auto,sync,nodev,nosuid,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/fd0
        ... where gid=100 is "users".
  

• Create cdrom and floppy links in /home/user, that point to /var/autofs/misc/cdrom and /var/autofs/misc/floppy respectively.

• Add user to the "users" group.
