Not automount volume after GlusterFS client booting up by autofs

Teams Infrastructure
1

I have configured GlusterFS between 3 rocky servers and mounting the gluster volume under /srv/gluster/vol01 directory. I had to install glusterfs-client in the 4th machine. My primary objective was to get the 3 servers replicated. Currently I am using autofs, but it doesn’t mount the volume when client booting up. The auto.master & what I did as below. How should i do?
auto.master:
/media /etc/auto.media
Thank you very much.

Hi,

Please don’t post links to onedrive since this could be potential security risks as we don’t know what is being linked is legit, or some kind of trojan/virus or whatever.

You don’t need to link to what you did, you can post it here as text which is normal and makes it far easier for people to read than having to visit a onedrive link to potentially download something.

Oh, sorry, but now I can’t edit the post. Future time I won’t attach the onedrive link.

This is what I did

It’s OK I removed it. Best is to explain everything in the post.

We could manual mount the 2 volumes:

but when use auto.master:
/mnt /etc/auto.mnt

And auto.mnt:

server -rw -fstype=glusterfs,backupvolfile-server=10.141.81.94:/vol02/server

[root@localhost rpm]# systemctl restart autofs.service
then wait for 5 mins:
[root@localhost rpm]# ls /mnt
[root@localhost rpm]#

Tried to change auto.mnt to:
client -rw -fstype=glusterfs,backupvolfile-server=10.141.81.94:/vol01
server -rw -fstype=glusterfs,backupvolfile-server=10.141.81.94:/vol02
