similar to: Automounter problem in C5.5?

I checked the archives and automounter is only mentioned for home dirs. Our organization would like to implement SAMBA but we have over 150 mount points. Is there a way we can use automounter maps with SAMBA? Having to edit smb.conf each time we add/remove a mount point would be quite annoying and time consuming.

Anyone seen this before? I have a number of file systems nfs mounted onto clients running various versions of CentOS (and Upstream), although mostly they are v5.x flavors. =20 The server is a Network Appliance filer. When the build process for this team runs, it sometimes dies because it can't find files in the automounter tree; if the engineer checks, he sometimes sees a problem, and

Hello, I just started evaluating Samba 4 AD DC for a Mixed Environment of Linux and Windows client machines. What I have so far is 3 Machines in a virtual environment: A Windows 7 client machine A Debian GNU/Linux (7.0) client machine A Debian GNU/Linux (7.0) server running Samba4 AD DC Yet missing from the setup is a fileserver providing Samba Shares for Windows and NFS4 for Linux. While

Hi, I?ve just started using Amazon S3 for storage and have used s3fs to mount the buckets on the file system. 1. I was wondering if anyone has a better method ? even though this meets my current needs. 2. if there is an automounter that could be tweaked to work with s3fs. The entries in my fstab are rather different to the normal disk based ones, s3fs#BUCKETNAME /mnt/s3/BUCKETNAME fuse

A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not

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 -->

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,

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.. The automounter also seems to mount direct mounts fine as

ok, I have moved home out of the way and restarted automounter.. and now I see the /home directory appear when autofs is started, but there is still nothing there..

We use rsync in a Linux installation script. First, the root filesystem of another machine on the network is cloned with "rsync -axzH", and then a few files are updated to give the clone its own identity. This works fine, but last week, the Postfix mailer daemon on a new machine refused to start because some lock files had a link count of 2. It turned out that rsync had created two

This mail message follows from several discussions with Luke Leighton. It's mostly technical in nature but I'm submitting to all mailing lists anyway (Luke's suggestion). We have our Samba server running with the Berkeley AMD automounter (nothing peculiar here). In order for our Samba users to walk the automount tree, we created a program to create symbolic links from the local

I wrote a bunch of files to a backup DVD about two months ago and now neither of my drives will read it. I get mount errors from "not a directory" to something like "unrecognized file system type" and so on, usually after a really long wait and a notice about how the drive is write-protected (duh). Here's what happened most recently: # mount /dev/hdc /mnt mount: block

My experience with printers is that of all the peripherals, regardless of OS, they are the trickiest to install, configure, and use. So I'm expecting a battle here. What I have is a Canon Pixus iP3100. It's a Japanese model, but it's the same model as the US Canon Pixma iP3000, just a different name. First, I plugged in the USB cable. CentOS seemed to detect it, and gave me a

I may have asked about this before, but I can't find any records of so doing in my saved mail (which includes almost everything I ever read or write): All of a sudden, I am not getting flash drives automatically mounted in CentOS 5.3 with GNOME - they are recognized by the hardware, but there seems to be a (new?) problem with the maps. Here's the tail end of dmesg: usb 1-10: new high
