I set this up based on your config files (RHEL instead of SLES), and it works as expected. The only difference I see is with the arguments passed to the automount daemon itself (from 'ps aux' output).
Mine: # ps aux | grep automount [snip] /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=0 --ghost /mnt/test file /etc/clam-av.map Yours: /usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map t 0 ghost Perhaps the 't 0 ghost' is the problem. Try starting automount by hand with '--timeout=0 --ghost' or '-t 0 -g'. The '-d' debug option is also really useful.. usually points right to the problem (but you have to configure syslog to capture debug messages first). hth, -Brad On Mon, 2008-01-07 at 12:56 -0600, James Melin wrote: > I'm trying to implement the --ghost option for a particular group of > automounted items but it doesn't seem to work. > > This is on a SLES 10 system. > > The auto.master entry reads: > > /clamscan/master/ /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 > --ghost > > and the status from autofs shows: > > Checking for service autofs: > running > Configured Mount Points: > ------------------------ > /usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file > /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map t 0 ghost > > Active Mount Points: > -------------------- > /usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file > /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map t 0 ghost > > but when I go to the directory specified in the map file: > > abinodji -fstype=nfs,soft > zebulon:/clamscan/scanlogs/abinodji > aitkin -fstype=nfs,soft > lookout:/clamscan/scanlogs/aitkin > > which if I have this right should be /clamscan/master there are no > directories showing > > ingram:/clamscan/master # l > total 4 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 7 12:48 ./ > drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 7 12:32 ../ > > unless I navigate to it like I would expect in an on-demand fashion > > ingram:/clamscan/master # cd aitkin > ingram:/clamscan/master/aitkin # l > total 12 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:42 ./ > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Jan 7 12:51 ../ > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205 Jan 7 00:35 aitkin.rootdir.log > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Jan 7 00:01 lastscan.txt > ingram:/clamscan/master/aitkin # df > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > --snip--- > lookout:/clamscan/scanlogs/aitkin > 10325728 313984 9487232 4% > /clamscan/master/aitkin > > So what do I do?
