Autofs

• • autofs will allow you to easily mount nfs/smb shares **

Suppose you have a server on your network that has content you would like to access from your xo. You can setup your xo to mount that share as if it were local to your xo.

First become root user: {{{ su -l }}}

Next install nfs-utils: {{{ yum install nfs-utils }}}

Now install autofs: {{{ yum install autofs }}}

Configure autofs by editimg /etc/auto.master: {{{
