autofs

[<shashi@fcrao1.astro.umass.edu>]

Im using autofs in potato with the following files:

auto.master

/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout 5
/amnt   /etc/auto.amnt

auto.removable

zip    -fstype=auto,defaults,user,exec,nosuid :/dev/sdc1

But when I put the zip disk in, and
cd /removable/zip it doesnt work, the error message is

automount[986]: >> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/sdc1,
Aug 22 08:53:22 C automount[986]: >>        or too many mounted file
systems
Aug 22 08:53:22 C automount[986]: mount(generic): failed to mount
/dev/sdc1 (type auto) on /removable/zip

However, it works when I do a manual mount ie

mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
or
mount /dev/sdc1 /removable/zip

so the zip disk is ok etc. Its something in autofs. This system worked
fine in slink.

Any ideas?
