can not automount

[Leonid Mishkind]

Regarding the map, it was mounted at all time. This is not the first time I see the message /my was mounted.

You were right about the execution permissions.
Both files ( /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto.mymap ) did not have execute , Though adding the permissions to the files did not change anything.
Here is the current outputs:

root@unixlab2: ls -l /etc/auto_master
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46 Apr 17 13:49 /etc/auto_master
root@unixlab2: ls -l /etc/auto.mymap
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 36 Apr 17 13:49 /etc/auto.mymap
root@unixlab2: automount -f /etc/auto_master -v
automount: /my mounted
automount: no unmounts
root@unixlab2: ls -l /my/unixlab1
/my/unixlab1 not found
root@unixlab2: ls -ld /my/unixlab1
/my/unixlab1 not found
root@unixlab2: grep /my /etc/mnttab
/etc/auto.mymap /my autofs ignore,indirect 0 0 1176906116
root@unixlab2: showmount -e unixlab1
export list for unixlab1:
/home/testleo/automount (everyone)


Once again , thanks for your help

Hi,

here we have it!
I wrote

There may NOT be execute rights on this file!

Your output:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 36 Apr 17 13:49 /etc/auto.mymap

A map with execute rights is tried to be execute as a program - but /etc/auto.mymap is not such a script, which produces map information as output - it's just a plain map.
So do:
chmod 644 /etc/auto.mymap /etc/auto_master
and again
automount -f /etc/auto_master -v

Then try
ls -l /my/unixlab1

YES!!! That is the answer!!! It works fine.
root@unixlab2: ls -l /my/unixlab1
total 0
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Apr 11 09:45 1
/etc/auto.mymap /my autofs ignore,indirect 0 0 1176909530
unixlab1:/home/testleo/automount /my/unixlab1 nfs nodevs,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,NFSv3 0 0 1176909534


You are the greatest!!! All the points go to you!!!

Hi Mishkind,

it's really nice to hear that the system works now!
Looking at a thread with 27 (or so) replies, it would be nice to reward All replies of All users with points (according to their part of help for a final/complete solution).
