Hi,

A good way to get autofs working inside a vserver from the main host:

/usr/sbin/vnamespace -e <guest_ctx> /usr/sbin/automount \
--pid-file=<automount_pid_file> --timeout=30 \
<vroot_dir>/<name>/<mount_point> file <map_file>

Where :
- guest_ctx is the guest context number
- automount_pid_file is a file used later to kill automount process
- vroot_dir is the base directory where all guests are located
- name is the guest name
- mount_point is the mount point :)
- map_file is a autofs map file (like /etc/auto.foo ...)

Regards,
Val.
