Migration from automount to autofs

[Alex Lavrov.]

Hello,
I trid to migrate from automounter to autofs. I did all the steps, reconfigured /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf, set AUTOFS=1 and AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS="-f $AUTO_MASTER" (auto_master is /etc/auto_master).

I restarted nfs client and now I can see autofs_proc.

/etc/auto_master:
/alex_test serv1:/usr/sap/trans -rw,soft


When I move to /alex_test and do bdf, I can see that it's mounted on the nfs server, but I don't see no files, no kbytes used/free etc. I think it's not mounted and only displays the values from /etc/auto_master. The directory on serv1 is mounted and exported and working, because all the sap systems use it. Also, if I try to mount nfs directory manualy, mount command hangs. Any ideas what went wrong?


Thanx.

Can post the Automount log as well

Does your system has latest NFS patch level . If not try apply it and check it out

Hi,
I assume >=11.0 as OS-version ...

I put maps in the master map only - try to put your test-mount in an extra mapfile
like /etc/auto.test containing e.g.
saptrans -rw,soft serv1:/usr/sap/trans

and put this entry in the master map:
/alex_test /etc/auto.test

The filesystem should automounted when accessing
/alextest/saptrans
and bdf should report this as well.

If you insist on mounting under /alextest
directly you have to use a direct map:
(master-map:) /- /etc/auto.test
(test-map:) /alextest ...
But remember that not more than one direct map is possible!

Hello,

the problem solved. /etc/auto_master an /etc/auto.direct had to be 644.
