All, On our main file server, all our home directorys are automount points. So /home isn't a real filesystem area, it points to a bunch of different home areas based on the auto.direct table. Example: /home/user1 mounts from --> /export/home1/user1 /home/user2 mounts from --> /export/home2/user2 /home/user3 mounts from --> /export/home2/user3 /home/user4 mounts from -->

rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected. Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to

Howdy, I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting feature so basically i done this; -Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include auto.master, auto.home -had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain. on NIS/NFS server i added this on /etc/auto.master file; /home /etc/auto.home on /etc/auto.home i have this; *

hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list. my client is sharing a folder via samba (/export) In that folder there is a automount-entry for my usbstick (/export/usbstick) On another host i can mount the export with mount.smbfs As soon as I access the stick (so automount gets active) i cannot umount the share. Get error: device is busy (automount timeout is set to 2sec.) When i never access

Running latest CentOS 7.5. Since I found out about automount unit files I've had mixed results using them to mount shares from my NAS. Lately they seem to hang if I touch the mount point, but I can start the mount unit without problems. I had it working months ago, so I'm thinking something changed in the systemd updates. For each mount point, I have two files in /etc/systemd/system

Hello, I have problem with automount, winbind and nsswitch.conf. When in nsswitch.conf is this line: automount: files winbind Then automount won?t start and those messages appears in log: Dec 7 14:51:20 u116-0xl automount[3135]: lookup_nss_read_master: can't to read name service switch config.

I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

In brief: Is there is anyway to trigger the same automount mechanism, that X appears to use, on unmounted USB drives that are already connected? Background: I've got a C6 server with default desktop GUI installed for the sake of the onsite admin. There is a bash script I wrote that runs every night checking for specific folders on any drive and dumps data into it. To ensure fs integrity, I

Alle, I'm following the instructions in section 19.3.3.2 of the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs-LDAP.html, but I cannot add the following entry in LDAP: dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=subaru,dc=nao,dc=ac,dc=jp objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema,

Hi I think I've managed to get the automount classes into the the schema: ldbsearch --url=/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb.d/"CN=SCHEMA,CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=HH3,DC=SITE.ldb" | grep "dn: CN=automount" dn: CN=automountKey,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=hh3,DC=site dn: CN=automount,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=hh3,DC=site dn:

Hi all, Not sure how to start but I have an automount map tripping as soon as automount starts. I've no services that use that mount point and am baffeled as to why its mounted. When I remove the map entry fro that mount point, I get complaints in / var/log/messages from automount about the missing mount point. Any ideas how I can finds what's causing the mount? Thanks in

Background on setup Here is some basic background of my setup I have 3 domains setup running over a IPSEC tunnel over the Internet with one PDC BDC and some file servers at each location all running samba (I am sorry I do not have the version number in front of me for samba) from SUSE enterprise 10 using the LDAP backend. There is a trust setup between all the domains and the IPSEC tunnels is

Folks, I've been getting complaints in our logfiles, such as May 12 10:07:07 <servername> automount[3415]: update_negative_cache: key ".git" not found in map. a) Is there a FAQ on automount that might cover some of this? Googling hasn't found one for me? b) Any clues as to what might be causing this? I see a lot of it, in spurts. mark

I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIS Server Side...

To this point, whenever I've plugged a storage device (flash drive, mp3 player) into a USB plug, it's magically mounted and I get an icon on my desktop. I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount. I can mount it manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine. I would prefer to have it automount and give me the desktop icon. Unfortunately, I

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

Has anyone gotten this to work? Im studing for my rhce and was trying to get this to work and its just not working like it shows in the book im going by. So basically I have two centos 7 servers running under kvm.. One is the nfs server, one is the nfs client.. I have been mounting up other NFS shares on the client and they work fine..

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to make automount do its job when nobody is logged at the console and the user access the server by VNC. Does anybody knows how to make CentOS automount USB Hard Drives / Pendrive when accessed by VNC? Thanks! Guy Boisvert, ing IngTegration inc.

We're seeing, in the log, automount trying (and failing) to mount a few directories NFS in the middle of the night. For example: 03:49:50 <my own workstation> automount[7872]: key "httpd" not found in map source(s) It doesn't seem to be triggered by the pen testers, nor by logs (I think), so we're all at a loss to guess what's triggering this. Anyone have any
