Q:

Automounter -- browsing with Nautilus

I have a NAS box that I automount several shares on my laptop. The shares are mounted to /mnt/nas/music, /mnt/nas/photos, etc.
When I browse /mnt/nas in Nautilus, no directories show up unless I go to the location bar and type in the directory name of the mounted share. Is this how autofs works, or should there be directories that always appear, and then when you try to access their contents, autofs will mount the remote share?
Thanks a bunch.

A:

Use the option --ghost in your auto.master. Look at google for an example file, I found this exmaple:
# mount point   config file        options
/-              /etc/auto.direct   --ghost

/misc           /etc/auto.misc     --timeout=30 --ghost

+auto.master
