AutoFS Recipe

Assumptions

• The file systems you are mounting via autofs live on a box that is CNAME'd to autofs.$domain
• The file systems are exported under /export

Usage

The autofs_foo class is appropriate for nodes that should be autofs mounting /home

The autofs_bar class is appropriate for nodes that should be autofs mounting /data and /db

Of course, these are silly names for classes. Rename them to something appropriate for your environment.
