Hi,
I have come across some issues when try automount samba shares using
auto.smb on fedora core 5.
I had to
1)Uncomment the smb section in auto.master
2)Add hostnames to /etc/hosts to do hostname to ip translation
Then to solve some problems I had to 3)change the opts line in auto.smb to
read opts="-fstype=cifs" 4)apply one line patch to auto.smb to allow the
system to read shares with spaces - /Disk/ { if (first) { print opts;
first=0 }; print " \\\n\t /" $2, "://" key "/" $2 } + /Disk/ { if (first) {
print opts; first=0 }; sub(/ /, "\\ ", $2); print " \\\n\t /" $2, "://" key
"/" $2 }
Now the real problem is this, when I cd /smb/sigma the shares mount fine (i
check ed the logfile).
However WHEN I do an ls -l i get a (null) entry in the listing. Why is this
here?
$ ll
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 3 16:48 music
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Apr 26 18:13 (null)
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 29 2005 XLNX
..etc
AND now taking a look in the debug log file I have this entry...for some
reason it is trying to mount everthing in /smb/sigma into
/smb/sigma/(null)/ which of course fails, with lots of error messages.
automount[1661]: handle_packet_missing: token 2, name sigma/(null)
automount[1661]: attempting to mount entry /smb/sigma/(null)
automount[2279]: lookup(program): looking up sigma/(null) automount[2279]:
lookup(program): sigma/(null) -> -fstype=cifs /XLNX ://sigma/(null)/XLNX
/My\ Videos ://sigma/(null)/My\ Videos /music ://sigma/(null)/music
/Incoming ://sigma/(null)/Incoming automount[2279]: parse(sun): expanded
entry: -fstype=cifs /XLNX ://sigma/(null)/XLNX /My\ Videos
://sigma/(null)/My\ Videos /music ://sigma/(null)/music /Incoming
://sigma/(null)/Incoming aopen automount[2279]: parse(sun):
dequote("fstype=cifs") -> fstype=cifs aopen automount[2279]: parse(sun):
gathered options: fstype=cifs [lots of inevitable error messages not shown]
THEN it tries to do everthing in /smb/sigma into /smb/sigma/(null)/mls/!!!
The mls would most likely have something to do with the ls command that I
used to get a directory listing
automount[1661]: handle_packet_missing: token 3, name sigma/(null)/mls
automount[1661]: attempting to mount entry /smb/sigma/(null)/mls
automount[2291]: lookup(program): looking up sigma/(null)/mls
automount[2291]: lookup(program): sigma/(null)/mls -> -fstype=cifs /XLNX
://sigma/(null)/mls/XLNX /My\ Videos ://sigma/(null)/mls/My\ Videos /music
://sigma/(null)/mls/music /Incoming ://sigma/(null)/mls/Incoming
automount[2291]: parse(sun): expanded entry: -fstype=cifs /XLNX
://sigma/(null)/mls/XLNX /My\ Videos ://sigma/(null)/mls/My\ Videos /music
://sigma/(null)/mls/music /Incoming ://sigma/(null)/mls/Incoming
automount[2291]: parse(sun): dequote("fstype=cifs") -> fstype=cifs
Why does the automounter create a (null) folder, and then why does it try
and mount stuff inside the (null)/ and (null)/mls/ folder after doing a
directory listing on the hostname
Also, can points 3 and 4 above be fixed in the default auto.smb script
distributed.
cheers,
Neil
