I upgraded my Fedora Core 1 system (Dell 4550) to Fedora Core 2. What a disaster! Lots of stuff no longer works!
I had several automounted filesystems, local and remote, that worked fine under Fedora Core 1. Now they don't work at all. Here's my auto.master file:
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $ # Sample auto.master file # Format of this file: # mountpoint map options # For details of the format look at autofs(8). # /misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 /home /etc/auto.home -nosuid /net /etc/auto.net -nosuid /smb /etc/auto.smb -nosuid #/net -hosts -nosuid #/- /etc/auto.direct -nosuid
Here's /etc/auto.home (the machine is named "dell"):
shannon -rw,intr dell:/export/home/shannon
nissan -rw,intr,tcp nissan:/export/home
download -rw,intr,tcp nissan:/backup/download
backup -rw,intr,tcp rosalind2:/backup
# Would like to mount the My Pictures directory, but that doesn't work
pictures -fstype=smbfs,guest,rw ://rosalind-pc/c
datsun -rw,intr,noquota,rsize=512,wsize=512,actimeo=600 datsun:/home/datsun# following causes too many bogus mount attempts
#* -rw,intr &:/export/home
/home/shannon shows nothing.
Any idea why the automounter isn't working, even for local filesystems?
When I run man 'auto.master', the format it gives me does not seem to coincide with the above at all unless I'm missing something?
are dell, nissan, and rosalind2 NIS exported file systems?
Should you be checking NIS stuff maybe? I have a feeling the above is not the problem, but whatever protocols/modules/services are needed to get this auto-mounted isn't running.
