My /etc/fstab looks something like this:
files:/var/files/emails /var/www/emails nfs rw 0 0
files:/var/files/images /var/www/images nfs rw 0 0
My /etc/auto.master looks like this:
/net /etc/auto.net
I am kinda lost after this. What do I need to next to get these mount point? Also there are lots of sub-directories under each mount point, I had read somewhere that there are problems with sub-directories, is this still the case?
If you have enabled auto.net which is a executable mount map then it will automatically create the maps for you.
You would need to restart autofs after making those changes if you haven't. Then simply cd into the directory /net/servername/path/to/files. When you access the directory the network resource will be mounted.
Check your /var/log/syslog for errors if you weren't able to access the directory.
