 Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 5:13 am Post subject: [SOLVED] autofs stopped working |
 |
|
I sometimes use autofs to mount a directory from a server on my laptop. It used to work, but sometimes in the last month or so it has stopped working, probably after an upgrade.
/etc/init.d/autofs starts as it should. But when I access a remote directory, I get this in the system log:
| Code: |
Mar 11 11:05:26 demokrit automount[9417]: >> mount: block device server:/u/camp is write-protected, mounting read-only
Mar 11 11:05:26 demokrit automount[9417]: >> mount: cannot mount block device server:/u/camp read-only
Mar 11 11:05:26 demokrit automount[9417]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure server:/u/camp on /fysik/camp
Mar 11 11:05:26 demokrit automount[9417]: failed to mount /fysik/camp
|
The remote directory is *not* exported read-only, it is exported in the same way to the entire subnet, and it works on all other machines (none of them Gentoo) here at the department.
My /etc/autofs/auto.master:
| Code: |
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2004/12/09 08:25:48 robbat2 Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
#/net /etc/autofs/auto.net
#/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc
#/home /etc/autofs/auto.home
/fysik /etc/autofs/auto.fysik
|
My /etc/autofs/auto.fysik:
| Code: |
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
camp -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp server:/u/camp
# wwwcamp -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp servcamp:/u/camp/wwwcamp
#ftp -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp server:/u/fys/FTP
data -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp server:/u/data
data2 -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp server:/u/data2
floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
cdrom -fstype=udf,iso9660 :/dev/cdrom
usb -fstype=auto,sync :/dev/sda1

Any help will be really appreciated!

I had a similar problem when I upgraded from autofs-4 to autofs-5
The config files were all different (and in different places), so I just deleted /etc/autofs/ and created new config files. |

Thanks for your reply!
I am still running autofs 4.1.3-r7, so that is not the problem. Actually, autofs itself has not been updated in quite a while, it must be something else that breaks autofs.
Best regards

Problem solved! I discovered that there is a package called nfs-utils, and thought that it was a good idea to try to install it.  |
