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 output:
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 “Troubleshooting NFS Services”.
