[Samba] Automounting

[Noel Kelly]

Hi,

'autofs status' gives me:

[root at medulla /root]# /etc/init.d/autofs status
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /ukfax file /etc/auto.ukfax
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /cortex file /etc/auto.cortex

Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /ukfax file /etc/auto.ukfax
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 60 /cortex file /etc/auto.cortex
[root at medulla /root]#

and 'df' gives me:

[root at medulla /root]# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6              3937220   2395084   1342132  65% /
/dev/sda1                54416      3853     47754   8% /boot
/dev/sdb1             35515412   8040072  25671244  24% /novanet
[root at medulla /root]#

The automount points are not listed.....


HTH,
Noel

Another difference is that you are using a lower timeout.

Yes, but df shows that it doesn't even get mounted (when I use autofs).

I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with that the PCMCIA
gets reset:ed by cardctl (and then goes active again) after the autofs
has been run:ed. But issueing /etc/init.d/autofs stop and then start
wont work either.

Tell me, what output does '/etc/init.d/autofs status' give you?

Mine shows:

    Configured Mount Points:
    ------------------------
    /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /var/autofs/nisse file /etc/auto.nisse

    Active Mount Points:
    --------------------
    /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_:var_:autofs_:nisse.pid
    --timeout=300 /var/autofs/nisse file /etc/auto.nisse

Gah, this is driving me nuts since it works so nice doing it from the
commandline...

PS. Don't forget to Cc me since I'm not subscribed.
