AutoFS

[Generic User OI IIS]

Hi Admins,

I've the following auto.master file :

/stepper /etc/auto.stepper -ro
+auto.master

The /etc/auto.stepper looks as follows :

lm5502 &:/usr/asm/data.5827
lm5503 &:/usr/asm/data.4945
lm5504 &:/usr/asm/data.8438
lm7001 &:/usr/asm/data.8728
lm7002 &:/usr/asm/data.9401

After changing the /usr/asm/data.? into /usr/asm AUTOFS somehow refuses this change. A cd /tmp_mnt/stepper/lm#### doesn't work anymore.

Must each client directory be unique ?

AUTOFS doesn't use /tmp_mnt.

On each of these hosts (lm5502,lm5503,..) is /usr/adm exported since I do not know if /usr/asm/data.XXXX is a specific export entry in /etc/exports or not ? Other than that it should work, I do not think you would need to restart automounter since you're not changing auto.master. If you new entries looks like this ..
lm5502 &:/usr/asm
lm5503 &:/usr/asm
lm5504 &:/usr/asm
lm7001 &:/usr/asm
lm7002 &:/usr/asm
they are correct. If I cd to /stepper/lm5502 it should mount lm5502:/usr/asm for me, and so on for the rest of the entries.

Try mounting the filesystems manually to see if they are mountable. Then stop and restart automountd.
