Problem connecting to disks behind NFS Gateway

English Network/Internet
1

Hi,

I am trying to get OpenSuse to auto mount a remote disk which is behind an NFS Gateway. This can be done using autofs. Another guy here at work has Ubuntu and he can connect the file system without problems. He said to install nfs-common and autofs packages which I did.

Then edit /etc/auto.master and uncomment the line containing auto.net. You then should be able to access the drive. My auto.master doesn’t have an auto.master.

Does anyone know how to do this? Any help greatly appreciated.

You want to attach the remote disk exported via NFS?
This is a line from my server, which runs NFS, from /etc/exports that contains my networkpartitions, amongst which /home for all users in the network:
/home *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
On all PC’s the NFS client is running and mounts the exported network partitions like this:
192.168.1.100:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0
That’s all, hope it helps you

Forgot: as far as i know, auto.master is used by NIS.
