Trying to set up AutoMount / AutoFS on my file server for easy access to my CD-Roms. I've copied the configs that I have had working successfully elsewhere, but no luck, nor errors..

/etc/autofs/auto.master:
Code:
/mnt/Media      /etc/autofs/auto.auto   --ghost

/etc/autofs/auto.auto:
Code:
cd0     -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/hdc
cd1     -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/hdd

/dev/hdc and /dev/hdd are my cdroms. AutoFS & AutoFS4 are built into the kernel. When I start the autofs service, it starts successfully:
Code:
 6859 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 --ghost --pid-file /var/run/autofs.mnt.Media.pid /mnt/Media file /etc/autofs/auto.auto

/mnt/Media does exist, but is empty (according to LS)

So, automount is working, minus the ghosting (cd0 and cd1 don't show up)

Any ideas?

Edit: After accessing the CD, it mounts it, and will umount it after the timeout (defaults to 60 seconds), then I can freely eject it. So the problem now is that ghosting is not happening.
