Re: [Fedora-directory-users] how to autofs

[Andreas Kekkou]

Hi, I have followed the instructions @ http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Automount and I manage to have automount working. If you still have troubles to follow the instruction of the above link I can send you a more detail how-to directly. Further to your question I have something else to ask. In my case I have a multi-master replication and the problem is that I can't take advantage of it with automount and I'll explain why. As mentioned in the above how-to, in my automount entry for /home, I have specified the name of the server in "automountInformation" i.e. automountInformation: ldap:myLDAPServer.example.com:ou=auto.home,dc=example,dc=com This means that in case the server is down clients will not query the other server for automount information. Is there any way to resolve this without having to change my configuration to Steve's one?

The automount page on the wiki does not exactly paint a very clear picture. http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Automount These instructions look similar to how ours are setup except that: 1. We use "automountmapname" as the naming attribute for the maps. 2. We use "automountkey" as the naming attribute for the map keys. 3. We don't specify the server name in the "automountinformation". 4. We have to run a different auto.master for Linux than Solaris clients. Here's an example auto.master (for Linux): dn: automountmapname=auto.master,dc=example,dc=com automountmapname: auto.master objectclass: top objectclass: automountmap dn: automountkey=/home,dc=example,dc=com automountkey: /home objectclass: top objectclass: automount automountinformation: ldap:automountmapname=auto_home,dc=example,dc=com Here's an example auto_home: dn: automountmapname=auto_home,dc=example,dc=com automountmapname: auto_home objectclass: top objectclass: automountmap dn: automountkey=someuser,dc=example,dc=com automountkey: someuser objectclass: top objectclass: automount automountinformation: -rw,hard,intr someserver:/export/home/someuser -Steve -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
