title: Unable to mount nfs share using autofs on solaris10
body: <p>I am trying to mount an nfs share to a solaris 10 machine at bootup without any luck so far.</p>
  
  <p>The nfs share is accessible and mounts without any problems if I do so manually from the command line (mount -F nfs server_hostname:/exported_dir_path/ /mnt/tmpdir). But I don't know how to tell autofs to mount it at bootup. </p>
  
  <p>We have another machine on the same network (also solaris) that has it working, but I can't figure out how is it configured differently from the non-working one. </p>
  
  <p>I googled the problem and found that /etc/vfstab, /etc/auto_master, and /etc/hosts files need to have proper entries to make this work. I compared these files from the non-working machine with the ones on working machine but did not notice any differences.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please guide me to properly configure autofs to mount nfs shares on a solaris10 machine?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
