They seem to have changed the hierarchy of autofs config files or something and it just stopped working for me. Looking for what changed and ran into systemd.mount on stack exchange. Short form: write an entry in /etc/fstab like this: nas:/data/directory /home/me/nas nfs nfsvers=4,nofail,x-systemd.automount 0 0 To activate this entry immediately, you would need two commands: # systemctl daemon-reload # trigger systemd-fstab-generator to re-make *.mount and *.automount units # systemctl start home-me-nas.automount #start the newly created automount unit or just reboot. $ man systemd.mount $ man systemd-fstab-generator Reveal much about units created, still playing with it.

I have an automount in my fstab on my server at work! It is an smb mount, yet it uses Debian which is using systemd.

Here is an example. It's a CIFS mount, yet I am sure you just need to change the mount type.
``` //myspace.foo.com/files/letters_TEST /mnt/letters cifs credentials=/srv/fooadmin/.smbcredentials,rw,uid=www-data,gid=fooadmin,noauto,x-systemd.automount,_netdev,dir_mode=0770 0 0 ```

Systemd makes everything easy. Gone is the drudgery of appending a line to /etc/fstab with _netdev specified, and auto.master, and running automount. Never leave to simple and settled what complex and fast-moving can do. I've been missing out on all the fun -- Slackware has none of it.
