Don't know, maybe. Using an indirect mount with entries that have offsets instead of direct maps is fine and is the only valid way to setup map entries that are nested (ie. where there are mounts within another mount). > > $ cat /etc/auto.master > # > # : auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $ > # > # Sample auto.master file > # This is an automounter map and it has the following format > # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location > # For details of the format look at autofs(5). > #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 > #/misc /etc/auto.misc > #/net /etc/auto.net > /u1 prod-autofs.u1 -hard,intr > /proj prod-autofs.proj -hard,intr > /usr/local prod-autofs-linux.local -hard,intr > /reports prod-autofs.reports -hard,intr > /clients prod-autofs.clients.common -hard,intr I presume below is your prod-autofs.clients.common?

Where is the mount location? > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/space \ > /proj/pkg_test Then where is the key for this entry and what is that path doing there without a mount location? Each indirect map entry (with offsets) should have a form: key [/] location [/path location [/path location ....]] or key [[/] location] /path location [/path location [/path location ....]] An un-escaped newline marks a new map entry. If there are too many offsets in a single entry and they aren't nested then you can turn the map entry into a direct map. If some do have nesting then you can use a direct mount map entry up to the point of the nesting and then use offsets in that entry for the mounts below it. These entries don't appear to match this syntax but that could just be the formatting imposed by the mail client. > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/pkg_test \ > /proj/GPA/historical-data > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10103/proj/GPA/historic > al-data \ > /d0/prod1/reports > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/d0/prod1/reports > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/prod/reports > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /usr/local/bfm/std > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/std \ > /tmpint > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/homes1/tmpint \ > /apps > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/apps \ > /web/htdocs > Client1-nfs.Client1.blackrock.com:/clients/Client10101/local/bfm/web/htd > ocs > Client2 /proj/space > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/proj/space \ > /proj/pkg_test > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/proj/pkg_test \ > /proj/GPA/historical-data > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/proj/GPA/historic > al-data \ > /d0/prod1/reports > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/d0/prod1/reports > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/prod/reports > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /usr/local/bfm/std > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/local/bfm/std \ > /tmpint > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/homes1/tmpint \ > /apps > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/local/bfm/apps \ > /web/htdocs > Client2-nfs.Client2.blackrock.com:/clients/Client20101/local/bfm/web/htd > ocs > Client3 /proj/space > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30103/proj/space \ > /proj/pkg_test > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30103/proj/pkg_test \ > /proj/GPA/historical-data > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30101/proj/GPA/historic > al-data \ > /d0/prod1/reports > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/d0/prod1/reports > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /u1/prod/reports > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30102/d0/prod1/reports > \ > /usr/local/bfm/std > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30101/local/bfm/std \ > /tmpint > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30101/homes1/tmpint \ > /apps > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30101/local/bfm/apps \ > /web/htdocs > Client3-nfs.Client3.blackrock.com:/clients/Client30101/local/bfm/web/htd > ocs > Client4 /proj/space > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/proj/space \ > /proj/pkg_test > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/proj/pkg_test > \ > /proj/GPA/historical-data > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/proj/GPA/hist > orical-data \ > /d0/prod1/reports > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/d0/prod1/repo > rts \ > /u1/d0/prod1/reports > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/d0/prod1/repo > rts \ > /u1/prod/reports > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/rep/d0/prod1/repo > rts \ > /usr/local/bfm/std > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/other/local/bfm/s > td \ > /tmpint > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/norep/homes/tmpin > t \ > /web/htdocs > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/other/local/bfm/w > eb/htdocs \ > /apps > Client4-nfs.Client4.blackrock.com:/clients/Client40101/other/local/bfm/a > pps > > > Jason Breitman > [email protected] > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Kent [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 8:59 PM > To: Breitman, Jason > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [autofs] automount restart required > > Breitman, Jason wrote: >> Issue: >> Users and applications will not be able to get into one of the >> directories in the direct map. >> The system reports no such file or directory. >> I can get to the mount point, but not any further. > > Show me your maps. > > Ian > > THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MESSAGE AND ANY ATTACHMENT MAY BE > PRIVILEGED, CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED FROM DISCLOSURE. > If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient, you are hereby > notified that any dissemination, distribution, copying or use of this message > and any attachment is strictly prohibited.
