I don?t have a good answer for you, because if you?d asked me without all this backstory whether NFS or SSHFS is more tolerant of bad connections, I?d have told you SSHFS.

Not so clearly. Look at the sshfs reconnect option, and also ssh/ssfs ServerAliveInterval/ServerAliveCountMax.

Rsync between 2 datacenters not working
You could try using an automounter, like autofs, in combination with
sshfs. It'll be slower, possibly a lot slower, but it should be more
reliable over an unreliable connection.
I've been using:
remote -fstype=fuse,allow_other,nodev,noatime,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=40,uid=0,gid=0,ro,nodev,noatime
:sshfs\#root at remote.host.com\:/

autofs and samba
Was trying to use autofs on ubuntu and mounting a samba shared failed.
Then, i came across a note that 'unless you need to authenticate to cifs'
-- wish I could find the exact quote now. The point is autofs fails to
mount a windows server share. I can mount the share using mount.cifs but it
fails with autofs. So I just thought I would check to see if anyone has
pointers on using autofs on

autofs problems
We have about 800 CentOS 5.2 servers and our university. We use NFS
being served from over 10 NetApp frames. We use autofs for to mount up
our partitions. There have been times where we can't cd into the
directory. It says the directory does not exist. On some servers it
works but on others it does not. Typically we restart amd and autofs
to resolve this issue. But sometimes it does not even

disable autofs timeout
Hi,
Does setting the autofs timeout=0 create a permanent mount?
What I'm trying to do is get the best of both world;
1) Have a persistent mount so that users can use autocompletion.
2) utilize the benefits of autofs so that when an NFS resource becomes
unavailable, the system doesn't hang.
I've tried a timeout of 0 but it doesn't seem to work.

issue with CentOS 6.2 autofs
I have an issue with CentOS 6.2's autofs/automount. When I issue "service autofs start (or restart)" the automount daemon starts as expected, however, I am not able to access any of the exports nfs directories; but if I shutdown the automount daemon and start it by just issuing "/usr/sbin/automount", I am able to access all of the nfs directories. If the system reboots,

Autofs cannot bind LDAP server
Hi,
I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs. In
general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small problem.
If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I get the
following error message in my logs:
automount[3358]: bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the
LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP

Samba, Kerberos, Autofs: Shares get disconnected
Hi,
I am still trying to figure out the best settings for Samba and Kerberos
with autofs.
My setup so far works good, users can log in on their computers using AD
credentials, and they can access network shares with AD credentials as
well. This works perfect.
Also I notice that some Kerberos ticket is created upon user login, which
allows the users to access a Samba share without entering the

autofs with nfs plus local directories
Hi,
I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user
accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this
setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir
also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed
auto.home as follows:
test1 -rw,hard,intr /home/test1
* -rw,hard,intr nfs1:/export/users/&

Missing autofs update for C5?
Hi,
the last released autofs update for Centos 5 is version
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.1. On 2007-12-20 upstream released version
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.2.
As several other updates were released in the meantime maybe the
autofs update has been overlooked?
Best regards,
Bernd.

init/upstart issue? ypbind and autofs
One problem I have with custom CentOS 6 installation is that NIS auto.*
maps are not available. According to boot.log, ypbind starts before autofs,
but when I login to the machine, the maps are not available until I issue
a service autofs restart.
Any pointers on what to check?

using autofs on C-7
Hi all!
I'm trying to set up autofs on my C7 netbook so I can automount a cifs
share (actually two) from my NAS box, and because when I'm not at home
I don't want it attempting to mount it.
so I've read several howtos on it, including the one on the CentOS Wiki.
but what I've got isn't working right, and I don't know why.
I'm trying to follow the

AutoFS mystery ...
Nope, that completely takes over '/mnt' and everything else that's in there
becomes invisible. However, I do believe you're on to something here.
Looking back at the other, working setup, I do realize now that I did the
same, where the path was '/mnt/<something>' and the autofs mounts are
within that, so they became '/mnt/<something>/<mount-point>'

Problems with gluster and autofs
There appears to be a race condition or a cycle with autofs and gluster
3.0.4.
When gluster tries to stat the mount point in fuse-bridge.c, it hangs.
When I comment out the code in lines: 3389-3415 it hangs on the call to
mount() in fuse-lib/mount.c:538.
This is true whether or not --ghost is specified.
Has this problem been resolved? Is there a patch somewhere?

more questions on setting up autofs on C7
Hi!
Thanks to some of you I got autofs set up on my C7 netbook for
mounting local cifs filesytems.
Now I want to do something on my C7 desktop machine, that seems to
me to be a little different, and I"m not sure how to do it.
I have an external RAID1 box that attaches via USB. It is/will be
nearly always /dev/sdc, but being USB I can't guarantee that it
will always be found there.
