Hi all,
 
Got a new pc set up which has a 6 in 1 card reader. I've got everything configured to the point where I can manually mount media, however I can't get autofs to work.
 
I've been following this guide primarily :
 
For testing purposes only I'm using smartmedia, which I will then include the other media types once I get one working - however I have addded all media types to the /etc/fstab file just to make sure I had all the mount points are listed (for non autofs mounting of course).
 
Here are the relevant config files -
 
/etc/auto.master :
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat 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
/misc /etc/auto.misc  --timeout=60
/etc/auto.misc :
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat auto.misc
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# 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
 
cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
 
# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux          -ro,soft,intr           ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot           -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hda1
#floppy         -fstype=auto            :/dev/fd0
#floppy         -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0
#e2floppy       -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0
#jaz            -fstype=ext2            :/dev/sdc1
#removable      -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hdd
smartmedia      -fstype=auto            :/dev/sda1
/etc/fstab
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/sda1               /mnt/smartmedia         auto    defaults        1 1
/dev/sdb1               /mnt/compactflash       auto    defaults        1 1
/dev/sdc1               /mnt/sd_mmc             auto    defaults        1 1
/dev/sdd1               /mnt/memorystick        auto    defaults        1 1
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this? I do the obvious things like restart the autofs service so that it re-reads the config files and CD's show up ok, but the smart media doesn't. Is it something to do with the devices being scsi devices that won't allow them to be auto detected?
 
I've searched google and slug and although there's autofs entries all over the place I can't find any that deal with card readers (and the others I have suggest that the above config *should* work.)
 
TIA
Paul
 
(Let me know if you need any other conf files outputted to assist in sorting the prob.)
