Title: Can I Use autofs With a USB Disk?
Post by: rf131 on September 14, 2005, 02:41:52 AM

Hi,

I noticed there is an autofs in 6.0.1, but I'm not sure if it is working.  I did a search on autofs on contribs and didn't get a whole lot.

First of all, how do I tell if autofs is enabled?  It looks like it might be a kernel item, but I'm not sure if it is available in my particular configuration.

Second, once I have this loaded, can anyone tell me if I could use it to automount a USB drive and dismount after a certain time of inactivity?

I'm trying to give users a way to connect and disconnect a USB drive without issuing commands.

Thanks!
Kevin
