OK, I think I've got it set up as described here, while fixing the misplaced fields in /etc/fstab: UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4 x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min,noauto 0 2 now when I do, e.g., "ls /mnt/backup" I get: $ sudo !! sudo

[CentOS] Is EPEL compatible with Stream?

2021-01-03 Thread Kay Schenk
Hello all-- All good in the Stream for me. :) Because Stream will tend to be more "forward moving" than previous CentOS releases, is it still OK to set up EPEL as a repo? So far, I've only installed terminus fonts from CentOS 8 EPEL, but I'm just wondering about this. Generally, are there

The first question I would have is this: Has the auto-reboot occurred since the machine was last built or did this begin at some point after the build? Apologies if I missed this in the many threads stemming from your OP… - - - On 2 Jan 2021, at 6:44, Fred wrote: Hi all, I'm hoping

Reboot is not necessary as long as local-fs.target is restarted, but a fix for the /etc/fstab might be needed. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В неделя, 3 януари 2021 г., 21:18:30 Гринуич+2, Simon Matter написа: > $ cat /etc/centos-release > CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) > >

Erm ... the noauto should be part of the options column, so append it to the previous option (and of course delimit with a ","). I see that the '.automount' was not generated ... Maybe it's related to the noauto issue. By the way , "mount -a" should complain if fstab is not OK. Best Regards,

Are you still on 7.6 ? I recently discovered that a bug in sysstat was fixed in 7.7 that prevented autofs from umounting the filesystem. The following should show if it's taking into action: systemctl status mnt-backup.mount mnt-backup.automount systemctl cat mnt-backup.mount

Strahil: I WAS using that, but the automatic umount never worked, leaving it mounted all the time. I commented out those entries in /etc/auto.master before modifying the fstab entry: UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup

Hi Fred, do you use automatic umount for the map in /etc/auto.master (--timeout) ? If yes, then the systemd mount options probably won't help. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov   В неделя, 3 януари 2021 г., 04:27:17 Гринуич+2, Fred написа: Yeah, and the instructions for setting
