Hello I can't see this in the manpages or README.replicated-server, perhaps I can provide a patch... I have this setup: $ grep autofs /etc/nsswitch.conf autofs: files nis $ cat /etc/auto.master /nfs auto.nfs -rw,hard,intr,vers=3 $ ypcat -k auto.nfs foo -ro,hard boxa,boxb:/export/foo Question: If boxa has the NFS server running (so autofs ping works) but does not export /export/foo, what is the expected behaviour? boxa and boxb are in different subnets, the client is in the same subnet as boxa. What I am seeing is that the automount fails completely upon trying boxa. boxb is never tried (no request logged on boxb). Looking at the autofs debug log, I can see get_nfs_info called for boxa, twice in fact. For boxb, only get_supported_ver_and_cost is called, after which the daemon tries to mount the share from boxa. What I was hoping to see is that the client also tries boxb before giving up. I tried fiddling with: the order (boxb,boxa:/export/foo) weights (boxb(3),boxa:/export/foo), but none of this made any difference. This happens to be 5.0.8-2+deb8u1 but that's probably irrelevant.
