[OpenIndiana-discuss] NFS Automount from FreeNAS Server

[Jonathan Adams]

no real options specified ...

jadams at jadlaptop:~$ grep -v '^#' /etc/auto_master
+auto_master
/net        -hosts        -nosuid,nobrowse
/home        auto_home    -nobrowse

jadams at jadlaptop:~$ more auto_master.ldif
version: 1
DN: nisMapName=auto_master,dc=domain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: nisMap
nisMapName: auto_master

DN: cn=/net,nisMapName=auto_master,dc=domain,dc=com
objectClass: nisObject
cn: /net
nismapentry: -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
nisMapName: auto_master

DN: cn=/home,nisMapName=auto_master,dc=domain,dc=com
objectClass: nisObject
cn: /home
nismapentry: auto_home -nobrowse
nisMapName: auto_master

(slightly sanitised, yes I know that "nisMap" is the deprecated version of
the automount stuff)

the issue is with the automount, not with mounting in general ... I can
hard mount it as root and access as my user with no trouble, I just can't
access it via automount.

The Linux laptops are usually running nfs v3, but only because we beat them
with sticks till they behave ... our Riverbeds cannot optimise nfs v4, and
permissions/ownership can go haywire when talking between Linux and Solaris
10 as nfs v4.
