Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: autofs5
Hello, (sorry for my english, I will try to make it clear, french here)
I'm upgrading my workstations from karmic to lucid 32bits and I've got a
strange behaviour with autofs.
The home directories (on my.debian.lenny.server:/home/net) are automounted via
autofs after the client authenticate to ldap directory.
On the client, I created in /home a symbolic link (net) to /net :
(administrateur is the local account on clients)
administrat...@cyb22:~$ ls -all /home/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-09 09:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 2010-07-13 09:07 ..
drwxr-xr-x 41 administrateur administrateur 4096 2010-07-12 12:26 administrateur
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-11-27 16:08 net -> /net
And here are the maps :
auto.master :
/home/net /etc/auto.home
auto.home :
* -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict,rsize=8192,async
my.debian.lenny.server:/home/net/&
Each user's directory is created on the server before first mount by the
client, with a Desktop directory containing a link to a public share which is
mounted via fstab. On karmic, the home directory is mounted correctly and
populated with missing files on first mount. It was perfect !
On lucid, it's less evident.
With the same automount maps, it doesn't work (error in syslog) :
Jul 13 16:42:10 cyb22 automount[958]: do_mount_autofs_indirect: failed to
create ioctl fd for autofs path /home/net
Jul 13 16:42:10 cyb22 automount[958]: handle_mounts: mount of /home/net failed!
Jul 13 16:42:10 cyb22 automount[958]: master_do_mount: failed to startup mount
If I modify /etc/auto.master from :
/home/net /etc/auto.home
to
/home/net/ /etc/auto.home
It works, but the home path is strange :
On the client I've got the home directory side to the Desktop directory (one
level is missing in path). In fact, the client populated the user's directory
created by the server with another user directory. So I have not the link to
public share on the desktop of the client, but in a Desktop directory in /home.
So on the client :
u...@cyb22:/net$ ls
user Desktop
And on the server :
r...@server:/home/net/user#
user Desktop
Feel free to ask further informations... Perhaps the / needed in
auto.master could explain problems encountered by other people, I don't
know, or I missed something ?
Have a nice day.
