Autofs home directory not mounted after reboot.

Hi,
I am having trouble with one of my user home directory. The home directory does not seems to be mounted after reboot of the system.
df -k as root does not display the home directory in question until the user of the home dierctory is logged into the system.
Please help advise.
Thanks alot in advance.
Yours Sincerly.

Hi, I actually did manage to cd to the home directory but unfortunately ls of the directory shows empty until I su to squid user and did an ls of the directory.
Any pointers what I can check to ensure that my autofs enviorment is correct in additional any idea what's wrong with my autofs enviorment?
Thanks alot
Deeply appreciated

Home Directory not mounted in Active Directory environment

I am trying to integrate a PowerMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.2 into an Active Directory. The Mac is bound to the AD without any problems. I can authenticate with my AD account and I also see the printers. However, I have problems using the network home directories.
If I activate "Force local home directory on startup disk" everything works as expected: The user logs in and gets a local home directory under /Users and can mount its network home directory with the finder without the need to authenticate again, so the single-sign-on works.
However, that's not what I want - I want the user to work solely in his networked home directory, not on the local disk. So I deactivate the button "Force local home directory on startup disk", but now the mount of the home directory fails. In the system.log I see the following:
/usr/libexec/mount_url[123]: smb_mount: open session failed!: syserr = Broken pipe
This is printed several times. If I try to access to automounted home directory under /Network/Servers/SERVER/USER in the terminal I also get "Broken pipe".
The strange thing: I can access the home directory with smbclient, I can also mount it with mount_smbfs, but if I try it with /usr/libexec/mount_url it fails although I use the exact same server and user directory.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

We have a similar issue here. Only the first AD User after reboot can login and the second one gets the same error as you. (see also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6418268)
It looks like there is a problem with the automounter. I set the AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT to 60 seconds in /etc/autofs.conf, then after logout of the first user and waiting for 1 minute, the second user can log in.

ASM not mounting after reboot of external storage

I have a setup with 4 internal drives and 12 external drives(external storage, multipath). The diskgroup was orignally created on the 4 internal drives and then the disk group altered to add the external storage. Everything was fine until the external storage array got powered down. Then we rebooted both boxes and ASM did not come up. I also see the HEADER_STATUS as UNKNOWN for all the external storage drives.

Ssd not mounted after reboot (mbp mid 2010)

I Have a question regarding an issue with my macbook pro mid 2010.
I Just reached home and opened my macbook and decided to restart it after a days work (normally i put it to sleep by closing the lid).
to my suprise, it won't boot anymore. First a grey screen with a prohibited sign, then after rebooting again the recovery is launched. When I check disk utility the SSD is recognized, but appears not mounted and renamed to disks2. I checked the sata connectors, which appeared to be fine.
macbook got 8gb ram; ssd=500 evo, which I installed about a monh ago without any problems. Clean installed yosemite last week.
Anyone an idea what is wrong and what can be done?

It would appear that the SSD is faulty. Replace it with another one.
Ciao.

The home is not mounted using NIS on Solaris 10

Hi,
In a system with Solaris 10 - Sparc , when I do : " su - nomeuser" the home is not mounted an I obtain the message:
"su: Unknown id: nomeuser"
but if I do "ypcat passwd | grep nomeuser" I obtain the information about "nomeuser" .
Anyone have any idea which could be the problem ?
Thank you in advance,
Luz

Thanks for your answer,
Yes I use the NIS, but I had forgot to see the file nisswitch.conf , and there wasn't the entry "fnis" for look up :
passwd: files nis
I inserted the entry "nis" in the file for passwd, hosts, networks, protocols,rpc, etc.
Now when I did "su - nomeuser" I obtained the message:
su: No directory !
The directoy is not mounted.
How I remebered that I haven't done restart of network's process then I did reboot of machine, but after that the network didn't work more.
Then I copied the file /etc/nsswitch.nis in nsswitch.conf and add the entry dns a "hosts" ===> hosts: files dns nis
And now work :-) ,
Many thanks again,
Luz Marina

Could Calendar services not available after reboot be LDAP problem?

I followed this installation guide:
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Communications+Suite+on+a+Single+Host+%28Linux%29#CommunicationsSuiteonaSingleHost%28Linux%29-InstallingCommunicationsSuite7Update2Software
I have successfully installed and set up the Oracle UCS Sun7 update 2 server. Calendar works ( if I don't reboot the server ).
However, when I reboot the server, Calendar service is unavailable.
Important information for when I installed Oracle UCS sun 7 update 2 by following the installation guide:
I have noticed when browsing through the folders, that there was already a 'dsee6' folder for the Oracle Linux I started from. Following the example installation for the Oracle Linux 5 with GlassFish install, I was instructed to download a new Directory Server. Following the instructions on page 7 of the install guide listed above, I made another folder 'dsee7'. I am wondering if I should never have downloaded this new Directory Server as instructed on page 6 "Get the Software". The install guide actually does not mention where to get the Directory Server from, so I just went to the edelivery site and figured it out myself. Anyways, under the "Installing and Configuring Directory Server" section, #3, I was instructed to "mv dsee7 /opt/sun/directory". In this folder, /opt/sun/directory/bin, there will be "./dsadmin" utility that can be ran. This is used to do many things with the Directory Server including starting it. Here is how I started it:
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadm create /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
./dsconf create-suffix "0=isp"
Also, I downloaded the Directory Server from edelivery - Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1 Patch Set 1 for Linux x86-64
Then, I ended up running to get it set up:
./dsccsetup ads-create
./dsccsetup war-file-create
$ ./dsccsetup cacao-reg
./dsccsetup status
Then, it looked like the dcss agent is registered in cacao.
So, if we forward ahead to page 9 of the install guide, "Preparing the Directory", I ran this and prepared the directory. After I finished installation, I could restart the Directory Server with no problems, as long as I did not reboot the machine. I would restart the Directory Server like so:
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadmin stop-domain domain1
./dsadmin start-domain domain1
However, if I rebooted the machine, I could still start and stop the Directory Server as noted. But, the Calendar Services were not available.
The only reason I wonder about this LDAP Server possibly being the cause of this is because I had at one point configured the services to start on boot. I followed these instructions:
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Start+and+Stop+Scripts+for+Communications+Suite+%28Linux%29
I am using a VMSphere client to host this set up. So, since that point of configuring the services to start up, I have rolled the snap shot back so that the services are no longer set up to start on boot. But, when they were, and I rebooted the machine, I could see ldap 389 errors all over the place. So, that lead me to roll my snap shot back in effort to try and fix the ldap errors. I no longer get LDAP errors since I rolled my snap shot back. But, like I said, I no longer have any of the services, including the LDAP, to start on boot as noted in the above link that instructs us how to do this.
After reboot, I run these commands to get the server up and running:
Start GlassFish server:
cd /opt/sun/SUNWappserver/bin
./startserv
Start web ( Messaging Server I think ):
cd /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/bin
./start-msg
Start LDAP ( Directory Server )
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadm start /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
Start Mysql
cd/etc/init.d
./mysqld start
All of those commands complete without problem. I can log into the convergence web, I can hit the delegated administrator, I can log into the GlassFish admin console, and I can see my calendar folder when I hit it in the web ( http://myServer.com/davserver/dav/home/userName/calendar/ ).
So, in summary, I am wondering if anyone knows if this supposed second Directory Server is causing my problems since I started with Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Linux 5 appeared to have the folder dsee6 already installed with it. Could this be why my calendar services are not starting after reboot but are working before reboot?
( Also, all of my posts keep getting deleted. Can someone please email me if someone from Oracle is deleting my posts and tell me why they are getting deleted? )

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
thanks a lot in advance
Added more info ~

I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
1. Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150.
2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
3. The Home button still was intermittent. I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
4. I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone. While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously. I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
5. I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
6. As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings. This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4. So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
And you are using iTunes 10.7?
I'm just trying to help get you going.

Time Capsule not mounting after Restart

I have only used Time Capsule for 2 days. However, it does not mount after Restart. I have to manually go in to the Time Machine Preferences and choose it again as the backup disk. Is anyone else having this issue, or is that the way it is supposed to work? Please help.

I can see where you're coming from. I have just invested in an iMac with iLife08 , iWork08 and .Mac
I saw getting this Time Capsule as the logical last step in this splurge.
I still have an old Dell desktop WIN 95 vintage which is still chugging along, VERY slowly, its specs having been increased way beyond what its makers ever planned.
I think (hope) this Time Capsule saga is a bit of a blip, superimposed on software (Time Machine) which has not been fully ironed out yet.
As you say, "Works straight out of the box" and "one click and thats it" are statements one took for granted with Apple,but with a big push coming from the suits, perhaps things are shipped too early.
From what I had heard of Apple, I would have expected better.
It was amazing to read the frustrations of Mac veterans in their efforts to get the Time Capsule up and going - and they appeared to know what they were on about.
I have to admit that I wasn't quite sure at first what exactly I was installing, but settled for a wireless external drive on my existing network, which doesn't have any other Apple products.
Even that setup has gremlins.
I am hoping that soon one of the mags will devote a feature on clearing the decks and starting from scratch with DETAILED instructions. I found that the installation bumpf which came with this brick stopped at the point where things got tricky.
Keep the faith!

Home button not working after 5.0.1 update

Ok now the home button not working after 5.0.1 update. Anyone have any ideas? How do I roll backfrom this update?

This happened to me as well. AT&T had me reset my network settings and this fixed the problem. Here is how...
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
"For now" the problem is fixed for me.

Home Directories not mounting

I'm setting up an OS X network for the first time.
I've got Open Directory based network logins working, but I can't get the home directories to mount over the network. When logging in, a dialog box says that an error occurred and that the home direcotry is mounted via SMB or AFP.
So I log in as a local user on the client machine to poke around. I don't see the server listed in /Network/Servers, but I can manually do a Connect To Server and put in afp://server.dom.ain/Users/usename and it's fine. This afp:// URL is the same as is specified as the user's home directory.
I have verified that /Users is exported on the server.
Do I need to go in to every client and create an automount map for this or is there something else I've forgotten?
Thanks...

The first thing to do when you're having any kind of login problem is to ssh in to the client machine and tail -f /var/log/system.log, then log in to the client machine and watch for clues.
Step by step:
1. make sure Remote Login is enabled in the Sharing preferences on the client machine (you can turn it off when you're done if you're paranoid)
2. on any other mac (or ssh equipped PC) run Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type "ssh username@IP-of-client-machine" obviously replacing "username" and "IP-of-client" with your values, and no quotes of course. Note that "username" needs to be an administrative user. If you haven't logged in with Terminal before, keep in mind that it does not echo back characters when you type in the password. Just type it and press enter. You may have to type "yes" after that to set up the initial trust relationship between the two computers.
3. Once you're logged in to the client machine, type "tail -f /var/log/system.log" (again, no quotes) and leave it like that. You now have one computer watching another computer's logs in "real time" -- VERY handy when you're troubleshooting a reproducible error.
4. Go back to the client computer and log in with the problematic account. The other computer will show you everything being logged in system.log. Watch for clues that something is wrong. (something couldn't be found, access denied, anything that doesn't sound too friendly)
5. Figure out what they mean or copy/paste 'em here! The part that counts is anything that came up on the watching computer's screen from the moment you clicked "Log In" on the client computer to the moment you are at your regular (deficient) desktop, confident it's not gonna do anything else.
