Ansible: Common Autofs

common/autofs

This role will install and setup autofs. As part of the install, the following packages are installed:

• cifs-utils
• samba-client
• nfs-utils

Variables

The only variable used is autofs-master which should contain the following children:

• name: The name of the share
• shares: A string array of share types like NFS or CIFS shares one finds in an autofs file.

Each name above becomes an /etc/auto.[name] file as well as being defined in the /etc/auto.master.

An example can be found in Flossy's Ansible group vars yaml.
