Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: autofs
The shipped auto.smb file in autofs doesn't mount shares with spaces in
the name.
/etc/auto.master has this line:
/samba /etc/auto.smb --timeout=30
auto.smb looks for the given machine and mounts available shares. For
example to automount the machine "oemcomputer" I would run:
$ ls /samba/oemcomputer
DOWNLOADS MY PHOTOS
$
The problem is the 3 shares on the Windows box are DOWNLOADS, MY
DOCUMENTS, PHOTOS. The space breaks the "My Documents" mount. smbfs is
able to cope with spaces though, this is a script problem. in
/var/log/daemon.log I saw this:
Jul 2 16:53:04 localhost automount[23163]: mount(generic): failed to
mount DOCUMENTS ://oemcomputer/MY/MY DOCUMENTS (type smbfs) on
/samba/oemcomputer/MY/MY
To fix it I used sed to escape spaces in auto.smb:
--- /etc/auto.smb 2006-07-02 17:13:10.000000000 +0200
+++ /usr/share/autofs/conffiles/auto.smb 2006-04-12 08:40:40.000000000
