Hi Francis, before to begin, I would like talk with you a moment...
Strangely I had several difficult to try autofs .. Now I that I went more in depth,I can understand that autofs is made mainly to be used in a net environment (NFS - file systems used in networks). The purpose because I wont use autofs is different.. : I wont only to mount an USB Hard Disk - permanently connected to computer <in order to the back up of the data>. The case that I am interested is not so much considered in current "literature" <it is not the default use of autosf.> and so the information that I collected couldn't be, perhaps, appropriate.. ... I found only an article that consider explicitly the my case...: *Automatically mount USB external drive with autofs -https://linuxconfig.org/automatically-mount-usb-external-drive-with-autofs <https://linuxconfig.org/automatically-mount-usb-external-drive-with-autofs>* This article suggest to use the file "node" in the directory /dev as name for mounting the partitions... ....This is another/different way to cope the problem... If you are interested, give a look to this article, ... perhaps what I did til now (mounting directories instead i file node in /dev directory) could be not the right procedure...
