Hello ladies and gents ,
I was following the tutorial from RHCSA RHEL 8 - Using AutoFS with NFS - YouTube , so my setup is : NFS server centos 7, NFS client RockyLinux 9.2
Both have firewall disabled between them , also enforcing is permissive on both .
NFS server IP : 192.168.122.1
NFS client IP : 192.168.122.20
Mounting manually works without a problem .
Trying with autofs is another thing …
Here is the config on NFS client :
/etc/auto.master contents :
+dir:/etc/auto.master.d
+auto.master
/etc/auto.master.d/home.autofs contents :
/home /etc/autofs.home
/etc/autofs.home contents :
* -rw 192.168.122.1:/home/&
After i restart the autofs dameon , the “/home” directory is empty
But it looks mounted :
[root@nfs-client etc]# df -h /home
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/etc/autofs.home 0 0 0 - /home
Daemon does look up and fine :
[root@nfs-client etc]# service autofs status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status autofs.service

So i tried to run the autofs manually with “/usr/sbin/automount -dvf” to get more logs out of it :
[root@nfs-client etc]# service autofs stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop autofs.service
[root@nfs-client etc]#
[root@nfs-client etc]# /usr/sbin/automount -dvf
