Role Name

An Ansible role for setting up autofs. There are two lists/dicts that are used:

• One for remotely populated maps (autofs_empty_maps, a list which will simply create a file <auto.foo> with +auto.foo).
• One for more complex configuration (autofs_indirect_maps) which (unlike what the var name says) can be used for direct and indirect maps. This will also add the path to auto.master.

The example below will create a simple auto.home, a direct mount (auto.nobackup), and an indirect mount (auto.catdata). mounts requires name and url (the latter can be " " if desired, as shown below) and may take options (optional, will add '-') as parameters.

Requirements
