Configuring Autofs for NFS Shares on OpenMandriva
This guide explains how to configure autofs on OpenMandriva Rock 6.0 to automatically mount a basic NFS share, specifically share1 from 0.0.0.0:/mnt/user/share1 at /mnt/share1, on a private home network. It addresses common issues like sample configuration files, the OPTIONS warning, and OpenMandriva’s autofs expecting the master map in /etc/autofs/auto.master. The steps can be adapted for other NFS shares. Look at the end for a shortcut to mounting multiple shares from the same server.
This guide encompasses every issue I had as a new Linux user getting this set up so you can avoid the issues I faced. I had to track this information down in multiple sources, especially the troubleshooting. It is not all-encompassing of every possibility, just a how-to get going with NFS share. It is working insanely well for me after significant testing.
