I am hoping that someone can help me out with an automount / autofs problem. I use autofs4, which works just fine for my dvd drive, cdrw drive, an old windows partition on my HD, and an smbmount of a windows partition on another machine on my lan.
However, it just doesn't seem to work for my floppy drive. At first, I just figured the drive itself was broken, but them I tried mounting it manually to another mount point, and it worked fine, so it seems the problem is in autofs. Any help appreciated. Here's the data. I am running MDK 8.1 with 2.4.17 kernel, with autofs4 compiled in. Here's /etc/auto.master: # $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $ # Sample auto.master file # Format of this file: # mountpoint map options # For details of the format look at autofs(8). #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 #/net /etc/auto.net --timeout=60 /mount /etc/auto.mount --timeout=15 Here's /etc/auto.mount: # $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $ # Created 10-21-2001 NL # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage dvd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user :/dev/dvd cdrw -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user :/dev/cdrw floppy -fstype=auto,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide :/dev/fd0 windows -fstype=vfat,user,exec,umask=0 :/dev/hda2 kirk -fstype=smbfs,user,nosuid,noauto,noexec,rw,password=xyzzy ://kirk/ddrive Here's the output of ls -l /dev/fd0: lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Mar 4 02:41 /dev/fd0 -> floppy/0 and /dev/floppy/0 looks like this (ls -l /dev/floppy/0): brw-rw---- 1 nl floppy 2, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/floppy/0 (I make the floppy owned by me (nl) just to ensure it wasn't a permissions problem.) Thanks for any help... N
