NFS folder access problem

[mataus19]

Hi,

I’ve tried mounting with autofs but I’m struggling as I’m a noob when it comes to linux command… I’ve followed the info in the link @bmillham sent:

Mounting network shares with autofs (alternative to fstab)

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs. Autofs should be as performant as fstab based mounting but has the advantage that your shares are mounted on demand which also should give you more reliability in case of network interuptions. First install the autofs package sudo apt-get install autofs If you already have mounted your shares already via fstab comment out that line in fstab and reboot. For this how-to we are going to use a directory for each server, if you wa…

I have got as far as:

First install the autofs package
“sudo apt-get install autofs”

but once I type this command:

edit auto.master
“sudo nano /etc/auto.master”

I don’t know what to do… I typed in " /- /etc/auto.nfs.shares --timeout 15 browse" but don’t know where to place it in the text and how to save?

Also after typing “sudo nano /etc/auto.nfs.shares” I don’t know what to edit the following to: “/mnt// :</path/to/share1>”

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
