==> Regarding [autofs] newbie autofs problem; [EMAIL PROTECTED] adds: pablo.roldan> Hi, I'm using autofs to automount the home dirs of my users, pablo.roldan> distributed among several machines. The config files are:
pablo.roldan> ***** /etc/auto.master: ***** /home /etc/auto_home ***** end pablo.roldan> /etc/auto.master ***** pablo.roldan> ***** /etc/auto_home: ***** canalias -rsize=8192,wsize=8192 pablo.roldan> e04:/homes/& jmbenita -rsize=8192,wsize=8192 e05:/homes/& ... pablo.roldan> ***** end /etc/auto_home ***** pablo.roldan> Until now, it was all working fine. A few days ago I moved pablo.roldan> the directory e04:/homes from / to a (larger) partition, pablo.roldan> which I now mount as /homes: Did you make sure that no clients had the file system mounted? You simply can't move things around like this and expect it to work. pablo.roldan> ***** /etc/fstab: ***** # /etc/fstab: static file system pablo.roldan> information. # #<file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> pablo.roldan> <dump> <pass> /dev/sda3 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 1 pablo.roldan> /dev/sda2 none swap rw 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none pablo.roldan> /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults /dev/fd0 /floppy auto pablo.roldan> users,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda6 pablo.roldan> /homes ext3 defaults 0 2 ***** end /etc/fstab ***** pablo.roldan> Since that moment, I am having problems accessing anything pablo.roldan> below /home. For instance, I can't do pablo.roldan> ls /home pablo.roldan> because the shell hangs. It just becomes irresponsive. On the client system? I'm surprised it hangs, but ESTALE would be very likely. Alt-Sysrq-t will show where the ls is hanging out. However, this really sounds like an administrative error. Reboot the client. The automounter logs to /var/log/messages. You should check there for any error messages if you feel this isn't purely a user error. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
