Server Config Files:

/etc/exports

Example: /mountpoint client hostname/ip(rw,sync)

NFS has to be running on the server. Do not run autofs for the client on the server.



Client Config Files:

/etc/auto.master

This is an automounter map and it has the following format key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location. For details of the format look at autofs. mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the "nosuid" and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev" options are explicitly given.

Example: /foo /etc/auto.foo --timeout=600

/etc/auto.foo

Example: foo -rw,sync server hostname/ip:/foo

NFS and autofs both have to be running on the client. NFS first, then autofs in that order.
