[...] - I tried to get it running according to your lines...without much succes. The problem lies in the 'auto.nfs' file (this is what I named it), I can't seem to get the autofs to fetch the username and use it.
Say like this: remotenfs/${USER}...
This creates a directory structure like this...:
/mnt/syn/remotenfs/${USER} [...]
What is the complete entry line in your auto.nfs file? And, did you reload the configuration by "rcautofs reload"?
I added the following entry to my auto.nfs file: backup -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid nas.local:/backup/${USER} and it worked as expected: In the backup nfs share, there is a directory called "jan" that got mounted when I accessed the mapped backup directory on my local computer.
However, the first times I tried to set up wildcards and variable substitution, I experienced exactly the same problems! IIRC, I did not change anything but waited some time and restarted the autofs deamon, waited some some restarted... until it finally worked.

Hi everybody - thank you for your inputs. - I was aware of the *& substitutions...but I couldn't read/understand how to use them. - I'm now going to try out Jan's suggestions. I'll keep you posted! - if it's of any help, the entire reason for this exercise is this: a) I wanted to use remote/nfs'd storage for /home b) I can't, because Firefox (and other programs too) breaks. It's a known bug. c) I'm forced to use /home on local harddisk in the box. Space here is limited. d) I then wish to have - say - /home/someuser/Documents mounted externally using nfs. This way a very limited space would be used locally and the brunt of storage would be remote. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
