Mounting network shares with autofs (alternative to fstab)

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs.

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…

Thanks Tom.
