Hello,
It's me again. So with today I've checked with three different hosts.
All running Xenial with autofs 5.1.1-1ubuntu3.1 and Kernel
4.4.0-116-generic. The host are a Thinkpad T410, X201 and a VirtualBox
guest system.
While the VirtualBox guest system works just fine, the autofs on the
Thinkpads did not work directly after boot. The autofs.service needs to
be restarted first in order to get autofs to work.
I have used tcpdump an strace to get some better look on what is
happening on the Thinkpads. So I did the following:
1. Boot Thinkpad
2. Setup tcpdump/wireshark snoop
3. Check that autofs is running with `sudo systemctl status autofs.service`
4. Run `strace ls -ld $MOUNTPOINT` where $MOUNTPOINT is the automounter share
from automounter map
In strace I see:
lstat("$MOUNTPOINT", 0x14861a0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The snoop shows that no single packet goes over the network to the NAS.
Next step:
5. Run `sudo systemctl status autofs.service`
6. Run `strace ls -ld $MOUNTPOINT` where $MOUNTPOINT is the automounter share
from automounter map
Now, in strace I see:
lstat("$MOUNTPOINT", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
And in the snoop I see the expected packages crossing the network.
That's it. I do not know what else I could do to help with this matter.
If you need additional information tell me what you need, please.
Regards,
Tronde
