Comment 0 for bug 369682

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64, and I've run into a problem trying to use AutoFS to mount exports on my Ubuntu 8.10 server (with OpenLDAP for user auth). I used to have this entry in fstab which worked fine:

files.example.com:/ /shared nfs4 rw,soft,intr,_netdev,auto 0 0

That entry mounted all of my exports under /shared exactly like it's supposed to. In /etc/auto.master, I have:

/- /etc/auto.shared

This should use the map file to create a direct map, and in the map file I have:

/shared -fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,intr,_netdev files.example.com:/

I'm not sure of the options here, but I have tried many variations on both of these files. I could not get a direct map to work. I had no errors in syslog or daemon.log. However, indirect maps do work with "/shared" in the master and test as the key in the map file.
