I’m migrating from C7 to C8.  I’m currently using autofs, but alas autofs has been dropped in C8 for the AMD automounter. I have some very ancient knowledge of AMD, I used it when it was first introduced many years ago on Solaris and moved to Sun’s automounter when it was introduced. So now it’s back to square one. I used automount2amd to convert one of my existing maps, included it in the amd.conf file and tried it out.  I don’t get any syntax errors so I
guess that the map syntax is correct, but amd fails to mount the remote filesystem and generates these errors  in messages.

I’m using firewalld  on both hosts and allow these services mountd nfs rpc-bind and protocols 111/tcp and 111/udp  all of which allow autofs to work flawlessly, I’ve tried turning firewalld off which made no difference.

Here’s my /etc/amd.remote file looks like new \
  -addopts:=fstype=nfs,vers=4,soft,intr \
  host==remotehost;type:=link;fs:=/export/data/& \
  rhost:=remotehost;rfs:=/export/data/&

Any assistance in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Pete
