At my university we had autofs set up so that you could:
cd /nfs/fqdn.of.some.nfs.server/share
and it would automount the nfs server+share as if root had done:
mount -t nfs fqdn.of.some.nfs.server:share /nfs/fqdn.of.some.nfs.server/share
It was extremely useful because you could then simply symlink to a dir in /nfs/fqdn.of.some.nfs.server/share/sub/dir.
I am thinking it must be the simplest autofs configuration, but I cannot find that config anywhere.
How do I configure autofs to do that?
