Summary:                    show automount (autofs) devices in xffm
Description: 
I use autofs for my CD-Rom and floppy. The nice thing is that I don't have
to care about (un)mounting. But the bad thing is that they are not
diplayed in the xffm fstab branch any more. Would it be possible to add a
special branch for devices manages by autofs ?

How do you configure devices to be managed by autofs?

Main configuration file is /etc/auto.master which defines autofs
mountpoints
(directories mounted as autofs filsystem). Each mountpoint is described by
separate file. auto.master file is not used by any daemon, only by
startupscript so it _may_ be convenient xffm does not use it either but
has it's own list of autofs(5) files.

denis, as a quick workaround, I believe you can add the directories when
mounted to "Book" branch of xffm. When clicking on the book entry, it
should mount ;)
