Hello there,

I successfully use automount to mount a large XFS pargtition on one CentOS 5.5 machine. I then tried to do the same thing on a different machine - and it simply would not work! The configuration is done in the same fashion, I checked and double-checked the syntax - but it is still a no go. When I use the mount command the partition mounts perfectly.

I have tried running

automount --debug

and

automount --verbose

and thus far have not seen any messages that would shed any light on what's going on.

So I am a bit lost at the moment. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

Boris.

Posting your automount tables might help. So would double checking that you both machines are up-to-date on patches: autofs has undergone significant improvement in the last year or two.
