auto.master:
/scratch auto.scratch --timeout 60
auto.scratch:
- -fstype=nfs my.server.org:/scratch
The above configuration mounts by sub directory only e.g. /scratch/dir1 , /scratch/dir2, etc. How do I mount without the sub directory i.e. /scratch to /scratch? In other words, how do I mount a root path to another root path using autofs?
After scouring auto.master manual, I realized that we need to use absolute path for this. Here is the answer configuration:
auto.master:
/- auto.scratch --timeout 60
auto.scratch:
/scratch -fstype=nfs my.server.org:/scratch
The above will mount /scratch to /scratch. Pay particular attention to the use of /- and absolute path in auto.scratch.
(This answer was also an inspiration)
