/backup auto.backup -intr,ro,soft,browse The browse option doesn't do anything. Works on RHEL4 allowing one to see all available automounts even if they are not mounted. RHEL5 has autofs5 which has the DEFAULT_BROWSE_MODE="yes" option under /etc/sysconfig/autofs allowing the same functionality but of course this doesn't allow specifying browsing for some automounted dirs and not others as the "browse" option does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put the browse option in an automount 2. reboot the system or reload autofs Actual Results: /backup doesn't show all the automounts but still allows mounting if you cd into an initially "invisible" automount Expected Results: /backup should show all the automounts
actually after reboot this completely breaks the automounter. None of the automounts work: Dec 5 11:09:43 trigger automount[5343]: >> Unsupported nfs mount option: browse Dec 5 11:09:43 trigger automount[5343]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure server:/foo/bar/user/ on /home/user Dec 5 11:09:43 trigger automount[5343]: failed to mount /home/user
Resolving wontfix, see Bug#: 158449. I got autofs5 to work on my box and it works great.
