autofs not workung for me

[Michael Vaknine]

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response.

I have no problem accessing this export from the server when I put it on
fstab and mount it norrmaly from this server and others.

I am missing something on the autofs configuration.

 

Thanks

Michael

Hi,

 

I am trying to use autofs and it is not working for me.

I have a very simple configuration

 

Auto.master

 

 

# Sample auto.master file

# This is an automounter map and it has the following format

# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location

# For details of the format look at autofs(5).

#

#/misc  /etc/auto.misc

#

# NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the

#       "nosuid" and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev"

#       options are explicitly given.

#

#/net   -hosts

#

# Include central master map if it can be found using

# nsswitch sources.

#

# Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as

# above) in the included master map any keys that are the

# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes

# precedence.

#

#+auto.master

/home/lookin2/filestore   /etc/auto.filestore

 

Auto.filestore

/home/lookin2/filestore -fstype=nfs
192.168.80.14:/home/lookin2/filestore

 

When I run automount -f -v I get 

 

Starting automounter version 5.0.4, master map /etc/auto.master

using kernel protocol version 5.01

mounted indirect on /home/lookin2/filestore with timeout 300, freq 75
seconds

 

the folder filestore is created but it is not mounted it remains empty no
mather what I do.

 

Any help will be aprichiated.

 

Thanks

Michael

 





I assume you did ls /home/lookin2/filestore
Did you do a exportfs 192.168.80.14 (I think that is the correct command)?
You need to make sure that the exported file system can be read by your
machine.
