Hi,
for quite some time I have been trying to get the automounter working with a
program map, i.e. a shell script that returns the available mounts of the
remote host as mount points on the local machine. I tried the script that
comes with the autofs package, but the following happens (excerpts from the
/var/log/messages):
Nov 29 12:00:58 myhost automount[8760]: starting automounter version 4.0.0,
path= /net, maptype = program, mapname = /etc/auto.net
Nov 29 12:00:58 myhost automount[8760]: using kernel protocol version 3
Nov 29 12:00:58 myhost automount[8760]: using timeout 300 seconds; freq 75
secs
Nov 29 12:01:06 myhost automount[8760]: attempting to mount entry
/net/remotehost
Nov 29 12:01:06 myhost automount[8766]: mount(bind): mkdir_path
/net/remotehost/export/dk1 failed: Operation not permitted
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The remotehost exports the partition /export/dk1
The /etc/auto.master on myhost looks like:
/net /etc/auto.net
And /etc/auto.net on myhost looks like:
---snip------
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: //depot/autofs-4.0/samples/auto.net#6 $
# Look at what a host is exporting to determine what we can mount.
# This is very simple, but it appears to work surprisingly well
key="$1"
# add "nosymlink" here if you want to suppress symlinking local filesystems
# add "nonstrict" to make it OK for some filesystems to not mount
opts="-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict,rsize=8192,wsize=8192"
# Showmount comes in a number of names and varieties. "showmount" is
# typically an older version which accepts the '--no-headers' flag
# but ignores it. "kshowmount" is the newer version installed with knfsd,
# which both accepts and acts on the '--no-headers' flag.
#SHOWMOUNT="kshowmount --no-headers -e $key"
#SHOWMOUNT="showmount -e $key | tail +2"
# Newer distributions get this right
SHOWMOUNT="/usr/lib/autofs/showmount --no-headers -e $key"
$SHOWMOUNT | sort +0 | \
awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$opts" -- '
BEGIN { ORS=""; first=1 }
{ if (first) { print opts; first=0 }; print " \\\n\t"
$1
, key ":" $1 }
END { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 }
'
----snap-----------
It is marked as executable. It also returns the mounts available, but this
failed mkdir_path is the anoying thing.
I am running Linux myhost 2.4.9 #1
Your help is much appreciated!
Thank you.
