Problems with AutoFS

I have the following auto.master file:

/media/disc                     -fstype=auto,user,suid        :/dev/sr0
/media/ipod                     -fstype=vfat,user,suid        :/dev/disk/by-uuid/3141-5926
/media/ds-sd                    -fstype=vfat,user,suid        :/dev/disk/by-uuid/E1E3-62A2

What is the problem with it? I get all kinds of error from /var/log/daemon.log | tail:

Re: Problems with AutoFS

I finally figured out the problem: I needed an empty line at the end of the file.

Re: Problems with AutoFS

Interesting, the default doesn't contain it, but it's never bad to put a LF to the end of file
