Does autofs take completed control of directories mentioned in auto.master? The examples with /home show that you can specify individual users instead of * and &, but even then it seems to take over the whole /home level so you can't see or add local subdirs.
I have a small group of users/hosts where I would like to at least temporarily mix/match who is automounted or not.
I am not sure what you are asking, but automounts are only mounted when you try to access them. I created symlinks to a separate folder (once I access a mount) so when I try to open symlink autofs mounts it for a given amount of time.
What I want is to automount /home/user1 from a different server when user1 logs in (to any of sereral other servers), but leave the local copy of /home/user2 accessible. It looks like this is possible using the 'direct' /- syntax in auto.master but not by specifying /home and then only mentioning specific users in the auto.home file. In the latter case, only the subdirectories mentioned are automounted, but you can't access any local subdirectories under /home.
