Re: Problem with automount

Usually that signifies that automount is trying to start and can not find it's map file which is located at /etc/auto_master.

1) Make sure that the /etc/auto_master exists
2) Make sure that the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf specifies the AUTO_MASTER="/etc/auto_master" and the AUTO_OPTIONS="-f $AUTO_MASTER"
3) Verify that your auto_master contains valid mount points inside of it. Either mount points that are on valid systems on your network or mount points that are existing on those remote systems.
Cooperation is doing with a smile what you have to do anyhow.
