Are there some here who are familiar with autofs?
I am having trouble getting it to automount a drive.
Thanks.
The primary file for autofs is /etc/auto.master
See
man auto.master
It defines the maps (that are often files but can be NIS or LDAP maps).
A /- entry defines a direct map. The direct map defines what to mount where, like the fstab. The mount point is an automount vnode that on access is replaced with the real mount.
Other / entries define indirect maps. The automount vnode is always present; it takes a key as a sub directory where the real mount happens. A typical indirect map is /home, the key is the user, and a mount happens as /home/user
