Hi,

I've been trying to export an autofs-mounted filesystem via NFS, but I can't
get it to work. Basically when I try to mount such export on the client,
mount.nfs gets stuck and never completes.

Autofs seems to work correctly. because after starting the daemon on the server
and say, doing a "ls", the filesystem gets mounted correctly and I can access
its files. Then I start nfs-kernel-server (when the autofs is already mounted)
and it doesn't report any error (also, if I run showmount --exports <host> on
the client it correclty shows the export).

But when I try to mount it on the client:

# mount.nfs -v 192.168.1.125:/media/Elements /media/Elements
mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Dec 19 17:21:27 2012
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 
'vers=4,addr=192.168.1.125,clientaddr=192.168.1.128'

It gets stuck there until I interrupt it. When I mount the filesystem on the
server  manually (without autofs) then the NFS export works correctly.

Here is my configuration:

% cat /etc/auto.master
/media  /etc/auto.media --ghost

+dir:/etc/auto.master.d

+auto.master

% cat /etc/auto.media
Elements        -fstype=auto,noatime    UUID=xxxxx

% cat /etc/exports
/media/Elements 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check)

Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Cheers
