Automounting is used extensively here for home directories and for
third-party apps in /usr/local. For often used applications we rsync
some directories from a central server. (One day I'll make RPMs out
of everything, but for now this is much easier.) So
/etc/auto_usr_local has lines like:
mathematica server:/export/stuff/mathematica-5.0
matlab localhost:/cache/pkg/matlab-6.5.1
Just to confirm, do you *mean* "localhost" there? (You mentioned
above that you expect to mount off of a central server, so I'm not
sure it's not a slip.)
This has worked fine for years now, from FC1 on back, with bind
mounts
being used for the dirctories on localhost. Under FC2T3, however,
/usr/local/mathematica is there while /usr/local/matlab is not. This
appears in the logs:
Apr 29 12:52:28 compute08 automount[3112]: failed to mount /usr/local/matlab
That's only the symptom; you need to dig deeper to find the cause.
Can you mount the filesystem by hand? Is an nfs server running on
localhost in the first place? Does /etc/exports permit localhost
access? Does portmap (in /etc/hosts.allow)?
