The automatically generated /etc/fstab at least had them listed (for sysinstall, not tested for bsdinstall).

Auto-mounting sshfs from /etc/fstab
Hello all, I've been trying to find a page on the Internet where an example is posted explaining how to mount sshfs from /etc/fstab, but I can't find any! I'm on 9.1-PR amd64 and I've installed Fuse and sshfs, I have enabled Fuse in rc.conf and I can see /dev/fuse. Furthermore, using sshfs from the command line, I am even able to mount the remote file system. I can manually mount the remote file system using: *sshfs user@host:/ /mnt* Then, I do 'mount -p' and get: */dev/fuse0 /mnt fusefs.sshfs rw,sync 0 0* This isn't sufficient for mounting/unmounting from fstab since it's missing the authentication details I've used in sshfs. So.. the question is: How to add the authentication details to /etc/fstab so that I can mount the sshfs just by using: *mount /mnt* Thanks in advance, and kindly Cc me on your replies! /OriS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Auto-mounting sshfs from /etc/fstab
In the past I wanted to do so in my system. I had one server called pluto and I wanted to sshfs one directory from my laptop. The first thing I had to do was to make passwordless ssh from my laptop to the server (there are a lot of pages in the internet to explain how to do this, so I will not explain how-to...) When passwordless ssh login is possible then a line in your fstab like the following does the job: sshfs#your_username_here@pluto:/Common/ /Network_Folders/Pluto/ fuse BatchMode=yes,reconnect,allow_other,users,gid=users,umask=002 0 0 In this way the system automounts the directory /Common that exists in pluto in my local directory /Network_Folders/Pluto Of cource pluto must have a specific ip (or available through naming service e.t.c.). In my case it has a static IP so I had its declaration in /etc/hosts Hope this helped you Elias ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

mounting fusefs via /etc/fstab
Hallo, At the bottom of http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/ there's an example of using FUSE via /etc/fstab. It is for Linux. I wonder whether the same thing can be achieved on FreeBSD somehow as it would be very useful.

Re: Re: /etc/fstab error and I can't start the system normally
I think that the problem was a damaged system. I have re-installed FreeBSD and now ALL the commands and methods work. mount -u / or mount -o rw / and I can access to the root directory I mount /usr and I can use ee (effectively a nice editor) ee /etc/fstab (absolute path isn't necessary) I have tried Fixit and the result is the same (here the absolute path is NECESSARY). For a non-experimented user --like me-- cover the bases is the most important thing to begin. I couldn't rescue my old system but now I know a little more.

Bur single user mode always puts root in readonly. I haven't experienced it puking during boot because of a bad line in fstab though so I am not certain how that works. Your best bet is probably to boot from the FreeBSD install disk, run Fixit shell from the CD/DVD-Rom option. then type /dist/sbin/mount /dev/ad0s(insert your bsd slice \ here)a /mnt then run ee /mnt/etc/fstab or /dist/usr/bin/ee /mnt/etc/fstab I don't think the absolute paths to everything is necessary, but I'll give them anyway to cover the bases. note if your want to mount that msdosfs for whatever reason you have to do this sysctl kern.module_path=/dist/boot/kernel /dist/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /foobar I've had to deal with that little problem before. the fixit shell does not load all the kernel modules you might need only a subset, and mount -t msdosfs doesn't seem to work anytime I try it so that one REQUIRES the absolute path to work. good luck -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Setting mount_nfs options in /etc/fstab
I am reading large log files via NFS, and I find that if I mount them with mount_nfs -a 4 then performance is improved. My question is: is there any way to set the option '-a 4' in /etc/fstab? Or am I forced to mount the filesystems the manual way in /etc/rc.local? mount_nfs supports a number of options via -o, many of which it describes as historic and deprecated, but they don't include something to set readahead as far as I can see.

That works for me, thank you. Perhaps the fstab(5) page could be clearer
then. It says:
The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated
with the file system. It is formatted as a comma separated list of
options. It contains at least the type of mount (see fs_type below) plus
any additional options appropriate to the file system type. See the
options flag (-o) in the mount(8) page and the file system specific page,
such as mount_nfs(8), for additional options that may be specified.
and also later:
struct fstab {
char*fs_spec; /* block special device name */
char*fs_file; /* file system path prefix */
char*fs_vfstype;/* File system type, ufs, nfs */
char*fs_mntops; /* Mount options ala -o */
char*fs_type; /* FSTAB_* from fs_mntops */
int fs_freq;/* dump frequency, in days */
int fs_passno; /* pass number on parallel fsck */
};
When I read this, the implication to me was that only options which you
could pass using -o to mount or mount_nfs were permitted.
Cheers,
Brian.

RE: putting mount_smbfs -N into /etc/fstab
Alexander Farber said: Hi, I have: //pref/pref /pref smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 in my /etc/fstab and it works, but I have to press the return key to submit the empty password when I mount /pref and thus I have to use the noauto option. I there a way to put the mount_smbfs option -N and also -E koi8-r:cp866 into the /etc/fstab so that no user interaction is required during the boot process? I couldn't find the answer in man mount_smbfs nor in /usr/src/contrib/smbfs/mount_smbfs/* yet. This can be solved with the smbfs config file.

I think maybe the Dump field for /vol1 should be 1 as well. dump(8) tells you more about this. I am not 100% sure. also, if i were to reboot the machine with the pass # for /dev/ad2s1e (/vol1) set to 1, would this be incorrect (i think so) and would it cause damage to the disk? The fstab(5) man page says that the root filesystem should be set to 1 andother filesystems should be set to 2. If you set them to 0, they will not be checked. I don't think setting that field to 1 will damage anything, but should be set 2 anyways. Hope this helps.
