 Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2004 6:40 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] automount at boot doesn't mount network stuff |
 |
|
All,
My next problem is that when autofs is started at boot time it just mounts
/misc
but doesn't do everything else -- like /us where the normal user's home directories are.
If I log in as root after booting up and do this:
/etc/init.d/autofs restart
then it replies with
*Stopping automounter... ok
* Starting automounter...
/misc /n.sun4-4.1 /nobackups /deleted /bfscad /homes /cad /us /-
and I can ls /us/norman and see norman's files. Perfect.
Why doesn't this happen at bootup? Here is my /etc/auto.master:
| Code: |
/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc
|
My /etc/autofs/auto.misc file contains just commented lines. Nothing else.
My /etc/conf.d/autofs looks like this:
| Code: |
localoptions=''
daemonoptions='--timeout 60'
|
NOTE: I just realized that the dhcpcd is started up at boot time after the automounter is started. Could this be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
Vic

What does your fstab look like?
I use autofs here and haven't seen it do anything like that. However, IIRC the default config of autofs will start with only /misc. |

Jason,
Here is my /etc/fstab.
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts>
<dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/hda4 /usr ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda5 /var ext3 noatime 0 0
# /dev/hda4 /home ext3 noatime 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/openprom openpromfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
Note: it looks like this because of some mistakes I made early on, with partitioning, etc. See this thread.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

If these are nfs mounts, you need to have nfs running before autofs.
At the top of /etc/init.d/autofs, there is:
| Code: | depend() {
need localmount
use ypbind nfs
} |
This just checks for the nfs server ("nfs"). Since you need for it to wait for the nfs client, add "portmap" to the end of it, so it looks like this:
| Code: | depend() {
need localmount
use ypbind nfs portmap
} |
So that it will wait on portmap if it's installed in the default run level. You can put it under "need", if you want it to fail if portmap isn't installed.
And, if you haven't already:
| Code: | rc-update add autofs default
rc-update add portmap default |
there are some bugs on this, with some good discussion:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4248
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4782
It looks like they added the "use portmap" and then took it out? huh?
Look at the autofs.rc* files in /usr/portage/net-fs/autofs/files/ for the various verisons of the init script. Weird.
I submitted a new bug. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74662 |

| For me here, as long as portmap is running, autofs handles all of the nfs components just fine. No editing of init scripts or starting of NFS is required. |
