Automount not mounting new nfs shares when using NIS maps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Issue
- Automount of nfs directory is not working. Manually mounting the nfs share works.
- ypcat is listing the auto.map for the new mount correctly, but its not being applied when automount is running:
[root@server ~]# ypcat -k auto.newmap |grep -i mnt /mnt/share nfsserver.redhat.com:/export/share automount - Manual mount works ok:
[root@server ~]# mount -l |grep -i mnt nfsserver.redhat.com:/export/share on /mnt/share type nfs (rw,addr=10.0.0.1)
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- NIS network directory client
- automount configured with auto.master and auto.* maps served via NIS
- NFS mounted shares that are defined by NIS maps.
