Ubuntu Automount by Label?

Question

Ubuntu Server 9.10

I know that using the mount command, you can use -L to mount by label like so:

mount -L thelabel /media/themount

Is there any similar way to setup Automount / Autofs to mount by label name?

I figured it out:

mylabel    -fstype=ext3    :/dev/disk/by-label/mylabel

Why not use a shell script with the mount command you mentioned?

Can you execute a shell script via automount? Can you elaborate on this? – Jakobud Mar 30 '10 at 18:19
