So autofs randomly stopped working on one of my Ubuntu hosts (this issue
has been found on Arch as well so its most likely a change upstream). I
found this error in the logs:
::
attempting to mount entry /net/freenas.example.net
get_exports: lookup(hosts): exports lookup failed for freenas.example.net
key "freenas.example.net" not found in map source(s).
failed to mount /net/freenas.example.net
.. raw:: html
</p>
The fix was to replace the following line in /etc/auto.master from
::
/net -hosts
.. raw:: html
</p>
to this
::
/net /etc/auto.net --timeout=60
.. raw:: html
</p>
and then restart autofs (sudo service autofs restart).
