That's because you've got this in auto.master: /home/nfstest /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=60

That means that /home/nfstest is the automount root _under_ which you are going to automount your directories. Your probably actually want:

/home /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=60

Hi Gavin, When I try that, it errors with: Sep 25 19:14:01 server-mail3 automount[14917]: mount_autofs: already mounted Sep 25 19:14:01 server-mail3 automount[14917]: /home: mount failed! Sep 25 19:14:01 server-mail3 autofs: automount startup failed

I would use /nfs /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=60

which will mount server:/home/nfstest at /nfs/nfstest , and just symlink /home/nfstest to /nfs/nfstest .

HTH,

Kay
