This section describes how to verify the AutoFS configuration.
To verify the configuration, follow these steps:
Enter the following command to change the current working directory
to an automounted directory:
/usr/bin/cd local_directory |
Where:
local_directory is the configured mount point in the AutoFS map.
Enter the following command to verify that the contents
of the remote directory are mounted under the local mount point:
If the directory is configured in an indirect map, entering
the ls command from the parent directory displays potential
mount points (browsability). Changing to a subdirectory configured
in the indirect map or entering the command, ls subdirectory, mounts the subdirectory.
The following example shows an indirect map configuration:
# /etc/auto_master file
# local mount point map name mount options
/nfs/desktop /etc/auto_desktop
|
# /etc/auto_desktop file
# local mount point mount options remote server:directory
draw -nosuid thyme:/export/apps/draw
write -nosuid basil:/export/write |
Enter the following commands:
The ls command displays the following:
The draw and write subdirectories are the potential mount points (browsability),
but are not currently mounted. However, if you enter the following
commands, both draw and write subdirectories are mounted.
cd /nfs/desktop/write
cd /nfs/desktop/draw |
If AutoFS does not mount the configured directories, see Chapter 5 “Troubleshooting
NFS Services”.
