Discussion on:

Automount filesystems with flexible AutoFS tool

An article on automount 2007? Seems as something that was finished and finalized in the 1990s. Looks like Linux has some catch up to do against the creators of NFS (as usual one can add).

I would like to see an article in how to use ZFS and NFS in Linux. Oh, forgot. Linux doesn't have the latest in filesystems...

Maybe some newbies may find this of interest. Not every one maybe at your skill level. Think outside the box.

AutoFS, Automount and NFS have been used a lot on Linux since a long time ago (past decade).

ZFS is a different story due to patents.

Anyway, take a loot at

for example.

Your a troll. I had a longer comment but based on the fact that you signed up today (I'm guessing just so you could post this to try and start a flame war), don't apear to actually know anything about Linux/Unix system architecture I'd just be a waste of time to try and offer information to further your knowledge.

I recently set this up on FC6 and had problems getting it to work. I had it working in RH9, so I know the techniques were sound. I orginally created the auto.* files with emacs while in the gui, I could not get this to work. So on a whim, I deleted things and started over. This time I used vi to create the various files and it's working like it supposed to. I've had similar problems when updating fstab with emacs or some other gui editior. I've always gotten the fstab problem to work when I use vi.
Can anyone explain?

I've discovered a similiar issue when using notepad in windows to compose an item and then pasting it into VI. Despite everything looking just fine, I realized that the double quotes characters get screwed up. Retyping within VI always fixes it. Very frustrating especially when you are using just ascii text. I tend to stick to using VI now for most everything.

I've had some issues taking files the other way. I open them in notepad and it's jibberish with mash instead of proper soft and hard line feeds. I open the same file in Dos Edit and it looks fine. When I save then reopen in notepad; it looks fine. It's the same reason text files need to be ftp'd in ascii mode when moving between Windows and Unix like environments I think.

Notepad++ can be freely downloaded from http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net and gives a lot possibilities how to save and edit your files. I use it as standard replacement of the M$ Notepad.

I've been watching for this to pop up. God a PDF of it in my docs archive.
