I am using Ubuntu 11.04, on which NFS paths are automounted using AutoFS/LDAP. For example, /path1 and /path2 are auto mounted, but I want to disable automount for /path1, because I want to use a local folder instead, so I added this to /etc/auto.master:

/path1 -null

But it doesn't seem to have any effect. So what is the proper way of overriding/disabling such specific mounts on client side for a automount map loaded via LDAP?

I don't have control over the LDAP server, and it automounts 10 or so paths out of which I want one disabled.

Edit: When I run mount command I see something like this

home.xxx.com:/home1 on /mnt/home1 type nfs 
git.xxx.com:/git on /mnt/git type nfs

I thought /mnt/home1 and /mnt/git are loaded separately from ldap, but automount -m shows only one entry

Mount point: /mnt

source(s):

  type: ldap
  map: ldap:ou=auto.mnt,ou=automount,dc=xxx,dc=com

That said wouldn't /mnt/git -null' in/etc/auto.master` work, or I will have to make whole /mnt null?

Is there a command to list dns servers used by my system?

I tried 

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces 
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

But it doesn't list any servers, if I go to "Network Manager GUI Tool", in Wireless section it lists "DNS 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

Can I get same information from command line?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
