Hello, again I'm having trouble with reloading the automounter.
After removing an usb device, the map for local devices is corrected: the line for this device is removed. Then, a reload signal to the automounter should make this effective. in detail: my auto.master looks like: /mnt/sd /etc/autofs/auto.sd --timeout=50 +/var/run/autofs/auto.master before removing the usb device: /var/run/autofs/auto.master: /home/sbon/Connections/Devices /var/run/autofs/session/auto.local.map.sbon --ghost --timeout=0 /home/sbon/Connections/Network /var/run/autofs/session/auto.network.map.sbon --ghost /root/Connections/Network /var/run/autofs/session/auto.network.map.root --ghost /var/run/autofs/session/auto.local.map.sbon: "USB Flash Memory" -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1 Now after removing, the scripts first unmount /dev/sdb1, then remove this line from the mapfile, then correct the auto.master and the do a reload: after removing the usb device: /var/run/autofs/auto.master: /home/sbon/Connections/Network /var/run/autofs/session/auto.network.map.sbon --ghost /root/Connections/Network /var/run/autofs/session/auto.network.map.root --ghost the /var/run/autofs/session/auto.local.map.sbon file is empty. The reload signal makes the automounter stop. I've applied al the latest patches.
