I'm trying to get autofs work with nfs shares with no luck.
I can mount them myself, but autofs do not work.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs
Used settings from that help.

I have autofs mounting nfs shares using /net but not tried any other rules. So my auto.master looks like this:
# auto.master
/net -hosts
+auto.master
I think autofs.conf and auto.net are default. Check auto.net is executable (chmod 755) as per the comment in that file. Restart the service, then
$ ls /net/<hostname>/
should list the exported areas for the host.
I'm pretty sure /net gets created when autofs starts, if not you can create it yourself with
$ sudo mkdir /net
$ sudo chmod 755 /net
and restart the service again.

Do you use NFS or NFSv4? I use NFSv4 and I don't understand why it won't work..– zjvDec 12, 2017 at 19:40

Oh, I am using regular NFS defaults. Not tried v4. What do you have in your exports file on the server?– rdanterDec 14, 2017 at 7:50

I use freebsd as my nfs server. % cat /etc/exports <br> V4: /shared <br> /shared– zjvDec 14, 2017 at 12:27

Sorry, not sure what the answer is but if you are using the auto.nfs script then you can check if it sets the right options. I doubt it does though.– rdanterDec 22, 2017 at 13:34
