You need to configure autofs
manually by editing its configuration files with a text editor, such as vim
. There are two basic steps to configure autofs
—the master map file, and specific map files.

February 23, 2017 AutoMounter is a sleek and powerful menu item for automatically mounting your network shares. The autofs manual page (man 5 autofs) offers a lot of valuable information on the format of the automounter maps. Although commented out (#) by default, this is an example of a simple automounter mapping syntax. Verify that automounter kernel support has been enabled: File systems - Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3) CONFIGAUTOFS4FS Optionally, enable the following options in the kernel configuration.
The default master configuration file for autofs
is /etc/auto.master
. You can change its location by changing the value of the DEFAULT_MASTER_MAP_NAME
option in /etc/sysconfig/autofs
. Here is the content of the default one for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

Entries in auto.master
have three fields with the following syntax:
The base location where to mount the autofs
file system, such as /home
.
The name of a map source to use for mounting. For the syntax of the maps files, see Section 30.2.2, 'Map Files'.
These options (if specified) will apply as defaults to all entries in the given map.
Tip: For More Information For more detailed information on the specific values of the optional map-type
, format
, and options
, see the auto.master manual page (man 5 auto.master
).
The following entry in auto.master
tells autofs
to look in /etc/auto.smb
, and create mount points in the /smb
directory.
Direct mounts create a mount point at the path specified inside the relevant map file. Instead of specifying the mount point in auto.master
, replace the mount point field with /-
. For example, the following line tells autofs
to create a mount point at the place specified in auto.smb
:
If the map file is not specified with its full local or network path, it is located using the Name Service Switch (NSS) configuration:
Important: Other Types of Maps Although files are the most common types of maps for auto-mounting with autofs
, there are other types as well. A map specification can be the output of a command, or a result of a query in LDAP or database. For more detailed information on map types, see the manual page man 5 auto.master
.

Map files specify the (local or network) source location, and the mount point where to mount the source locally. The general format of maps is similar to the master map. The difference is that the options appear between the mount point and the location instead of at the end of the entry:
Make sure that map files are not marked as executable. You can remove the executable bits by executing chmod -x MAP_FILE
.
Specifies where to mount the source location. This can be either a single directory name (so-called indirect mount) to be added to the base mount point specified in auto.master
, or the full path of the mount point (direct mount, see Section 30.2.1.1, 'Direct Mounts').
Specifies optional comma-separated list of mount options for the relevant entries. If auto.master
contains options for this map file as well, theses are appended.
Specifies from where the file system is to be mounted. It is usually an NFS or SMB volume in the usual notation host_name:path_name
. If the file system to be mounted begins with a '/' (such as local /dev
entries or smbfs shares), a colon symbol ':' needs to be prefixed, such as :/dev/sda1
.
