Bug 8254 – autofs-3.1.7-r4.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Brad Cowan (RETIRED) 2002-09-23 04:10:18 UTC]

Ok I've been working on solving problems with autofs for the last couple of days.
several things I've been working on come from bugs #3930 and #4248.
I have added net-nds/portmap, and net-nds/ypbind to RDEPEND. I also updated the
init scripts to add a working stats option...this option is the same as most
distros status option, as there seems to be a predefined status option in gentoo
that just shows whether a daemon is running or not. I reworked the reload to
make it work properly, and added a hard restart option. I also added info to
pkg_postinst to note that portmap must be present in the default run-level in
order for remote NFS mounts without actually running NFS

[Comment 12 Nick Hadaway 2002-09-26 11:20:09 UTC]

autofs.confd contains this...
-----------------------------
# Config file for /etc/init.d/autofs
FLAGS="defaults 21"

#
# e.g. localoptions='rsize=8192,wsize=8192'
# 
localoptions=''

autofs.rc6 contains this...
---------------------------
#FIXME: this works but it really sucks
if echo $timeout|grep -v -- '--timeout' >/dev/null ; then
	rest="$mnt $rest"
	mnt="$timeout"
	timeout=""
fi

In autofs.confd we should add "--timeout=60" to localoptions so we don't have 
to do this messy passing of variables around.

With the lastest autofs ebuild, whatever I try, I can only mount/see one map
when using NIS.

# ypcat auto.master
auto.home       -nobrowse
auto.local

# ypcat auto.home
-fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 srv01.lphp.local:/home/&

# ypcat auto.local
-fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 srv03.lphp.local:/public
-fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 srv02.lphp.local:/public
-fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 srv01.lphp.local:/public

auto.home is mounted on /home and auto.local on /mnt/export.

# mount
srv01.lphp.local:/home/ajacoutot on /home/ajacoutot type nfs
(rw,nobrowse,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.0.1)

# cd /mnt/export/public@srv01
bash: cd: /mnt/export/public@srv01: No such file or directory

??? --> isn't it supposed to automount ???
I do have the directory /mnt/export

# /etc/init.d/autofs stats
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount  /home/ yp auto.home nobrowse --timeout=60
/usr/sbin/automount  /mnt/export/ yp auto.local  --timeout=60

Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /home/ yp auto.home nobrowse --timeout=60
grep automount

If I disable the auto.home map file on the server, then I can mount what's in
auto.local... odd...

hopefully fixed....please submit another bug if not :)

[Comment 16 Scott A. Friedman 2002-11-17 20:24:16 UTC]

Okay, I am going to add something here too...

3.1.7-r4 has

need net
use portmap ypbind

autofs does *not* need net - and it does *not* use portmap - at least not 
directly. As I suggested in bug#3930 I believe that the correct setup should be

need localmount
use ypbind nfs

portmap and net get taken care of by ypbind and nfs. the need localmount just 
forces the correct order since things seems to go in alphabetical order 
otherwise
