Hi,

I have in my /etc/auto_home the following:

+auto_home
#
joost onix:/export/home/joost

That's working fine.

Now I would like to have my photo library in /home/joost/Pictures on another share. After reading auto_master(5), I changed auto_home to

+auto_home
#
joost \
/ onix:/export/home/joost \
/Pictures onix:/export/home/joost/Pictures

Apparantly that doesn't work.

Does anyone have a similar working configuration?

Thanks!

Joost

I now have

+auto_home
#
joost \
onix:/export/home/joost \
/Pictures onix:/export/home/joost/Pictures

and that works!

What you have entered and what I have entered is the same thing. The back slant symbol for continuation of the previous line.

So what you really have is the following:

joost onix:/export/home/joost /Pictures onix:/export/home/joost/Pictures
