Automount question
I'm a newbie to Lion Server, so this may be obvious to some, but how to I get volumes to Automount on my clients?
I have a few volumes setup as SharePoints in the Server.app, and a bring a few MacBookPro's to work each day. I'd like them to automount the network volumes once they connect to the network, but have not figured out how to do this.
Many thanks!
You're saying 'automounts' but this is usually done to support something like network home directories. What you're probably refering to is called a network mount.
You can include network mounts as part of a configuration profile that you push to devices.
However, your mileage may vary with this feature. I've found it to be buggy in Lion but I did eventually get it to work.

does anyone know how to set up autofs such that one can automount a filesystem over the network that is exported by another machine? i've read the arch wiki on autofs and it is either outdated or just does not really explain how to do this. -- i cannot even start the autofs daemon or run automount by hand (fails, but nothing is logged to illuminate the issue even when i try to force logging):
root % . /etc/rc.d/autofs start
:: Starting autofs daemon [FAIL]
root %
or,
/etc/autofs % automount -v ./auto.master
automount: test mount forbidden or incorrect kernel protocol version, kernel protocol version 5.00 or above required.
/etc/autofs %
technically i am not a new user but i definitely feel like one now.
i have all the necessary packages installed, as far as I can tell. i am running the HAL daemon on startup, but i don't really think that should have anything to do with this. i have written an auto.master file, privileges are all set to 0644. the directory i refer to in the file exists and is empty.
any help would be greatly appreciated...At my work we use autofs and ldap. I'm gonna try to remember how we set this up. You need to install a couple packages, autofs on the computer you want to mount to, and a nfs-server on the computer you want to mount from.
Server.
Packages :: nfs-server
Files needing editing
/etc/auto.master (user data and mount point)
/etc/exports (/path/to/shared/folder and pcs (hostnames) which are allowed to mount)
I'm not quite sure, but you probably have to add the user to /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow
Client
packages:
autofs
Files to be edited
/etc/auto.master
The auto.master files should be the same on both pcs. I don't know why you can't start autofs though. -
I new to arch and so far i like it!
I am dealing wuth hal to automount my other partitions, i when i use nautilus i have listed at list 8 partitions/devices wich HAL mount.
How can i configure this, to only mount what i want? for example i have sabayon linux installed in one partion and i don't want hal to mount this, but at the same time, i want my mp4 player or my dvd device automounted.
PD: In this case is better if i use fstab?
thanks ain advance! and thanks for this great OSTSP, I ended up trying this "outdated" tip and it worked.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL
As root, create a file named 90-user-methods.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. Then paste the following in
<xml>
<deviceinfo>
<device>
<match>
<merge>true</merge>
<match>
<merge>false</merge>
<merge>true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Then restart HAL, /etc/rc.d/hal restart.

10.5.1 - Automount shared drive question
I have a mac mini with an external HDD attached (running 10.4) -- my macbook pro can find the mini without problems, along with all currently mounted drives. The only drive it CAN'T find is the external hard drive.
Is this a problem with how it is mounted? It only finds disk images and not samba mounts? Any way to make it automatically show up when I connect to my mini?Goto Sharepoints home, there is also a Sharepoints Automounter... but maybe I don't read it right yet... just finally got Internet in Leopard a few minutes ago.
As far as "bookmarks", the cool workaround in Tiger was to once mounted, drag those Globe Icons to the Dock between Applications & Trash, or if you had many, create a New Folder on the Desktop, drag all those Globe Icons there, rename then if you wish, then drag that folder to the Dock... but no idea how Lep[ard operates with that yet... far as I'm concerned, if Leopard has 300+ improvements, then it must have 500+ steps backwards! -
Questions: 10-keymap.fdi not working // automounting ntfs drives // ++
Hi there,
this time I want to change 100% from windows to linux and i found archlinux to be a really nice system.
I like it "the arch way"
1) I followed the beginner's wiki and choose those xf86-input-evdev 2.3.2-1 drivers.
I set the 10-keymap.fdi file
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />nodeadkeys</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The problem is, that the layout doesn't change to 'de'
I put
setxkbmap de -variant nodeadkeys &
into my.xinitrc, but this is not a good solution, because when logging in with SLIM there is still the english layout (e.g. for passwords with an "y" i have to press "z" because y and z are swaped in de / en layout .)
So what can I do? Is my 10-keymap.fdi somehow wrong?
2)
I would like to use my windows ntfs partitions in arch, so I installed ntfs-3g. Manual mounting with "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd.. /mnt/... " works, but how can I manage that arch mounts everything it finds automaticly on startup and while running (e.g adding an usb drive)?
I installed "hal" but nothing is mounted on startup (/mnt is empty?)
3)
I saw there is a "netfs" daemon in my rc.conf
I googled it and I read it is for unix network.
When I install samba later, should I remove it then? (samba can do windows and unix both right?)
4)
I use openbox (and would like to continue using it). Is it possible to make windows "snap" to the edge and take half screen like in Windows 7 ?
And are there any commands or something like that to rearrange windows on the screen, for example "show all windows side by side" or "sorted" ?
This is my rc.conf

replace ...
hi
thanks, it worked!
2)
use udev rules or autofs.
are udev rules and autofs two different ways of automounting devices?
i'm not shure, but i think i read on beginners wiki somewhere that hal automounts my drives?
hal, udev, autofs.. i'm confused
hm i read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev and created those files (with content) as they are written in the wiki
/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-my-media-automount.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/11-sd-cards-auto-mount.rules
sadly nothing happend (i didnt see any mounted partition in /media or /mnt.. after reboot)
i know that
ls /dev/sd
sda sda1 sda2 sdb sdb1
those should be my windows partitions
did i miss somethingor should i better try autofs?

Uber-Noob Question about automounting USB hard drives
First, let me say I'm not just new to Arch, but new to Linux as well. Been playing with it off & on for years, but mostly 'off'. In the last 3 weeks I've installed 10-12 different distros between my 2 home PC's and VMware on my laptop. I've installed Arch probably 5 times now, and have got the process down pretty good. I've probably learned more about linux from installing and configuring Arch than any other distro, book, web site, etc. So now I've got it up and running again in VMware on an Ubuntu 7.10 install on my old pc. I've got gnome working, sound is fine, samba is fine, really no problems. Except mounting USB drives. I've read several posts here and the wiki, but nothing seems to be clear really.
I think it may be a problem in the VM environment, but I want to be sure. I'm planning to replace my Sidux install on my main PC with Arch later today or tomorrow. Assuming I get it installed, and get gnome installed, will the gnome volume manager work like it does in other distros? I don't mind doing the config by hand, but I do a lot with USB flash drives and USB hard drives, and it seems like it just doesn't work very well in Arch. I actually replaced my ubuntu install last week with Arch, but got tired of trying to access my music on my USB drive, never could get it to mount. So I just re-installed Ubuntu (shame on me, I know).
So any help in getting some understanding in what needs to be done would be greatly appreciated. (forgot to mention, I did follow the wiki steps for autofs, as well as the usb drive wiki stuff).
Thanks.it's all working fine now, the problem was in the VM. I installed Arch on my main PC, and except for being an idiot, all went well. My USB drives automount in gnome, as does my CD. Haven't tried the ipods yet, but I'm sure there won't be a problem. Key for me: add my user to the storage group and reboot (logging off would of done the trick too I'm guessing). Had the same problem with setting up X, needed to reboot and all was well. Great distro, a helluva lot of fun to install and configure, and I've only done so little:)

This just dawned on me. I've been having trouble browsing my smb network since making the upgrade to Tiger. I just noticed that when browsing the network there is an alias that points to "/automount/Library" but it was broken because the original object was missing. Low and behold, I checked and there is no file or folder at this location.
Can someone please tell me if this is a file or folder and also tell me what belongs within it so I can try to rebuild it manually?
Thanks.This just dawned on me. I've been having trouble

Tiger.
That's because tiger has apparently broken SMB in certain configurations. There are a lot of discussions about how/what is broken in SMB with tiger on the boards, here.

It is fine the way it is - it is there for Library items shared over the network - there aren't any on your network, so the alias goes nowhere.
Again, if you search the forums there are quite a few posts that will give you more specific info about this alias. -
Quick Question about automounts
If I don't import auto maps into the directory server, then can I assume that if /etc/nsswitch.conf is set correctly that automounts will be handled by files?
If nsswitch.conf reads:
automount: files ldap
Automount will be handled on the server that you login to...right?
Thanks in advance, I am still learning!!The heat and whine issues are likely normal (or at least within spec), but the screen anomaly certainly isn't. If you return the machine to Apple (and you purchased a standard, non-CTO configuration) you will be subject to the restocking fee (CTO machines cannot be returned, so far as I know).
Your best bet is to call Apple and send the machine in for repair; if they determine there is a problem they will send you a box to ship the machine to them in, fix it, and send it back to you without charge. 1-800-APL-CARE.
Good luck. -
Creation of undesired Automount of Shares in 10.9
I'm experiencing one problem that is made worse by another problem. This appears to be a new bug under 10.9 and while I will report it to Apple I'm trying to work around it for now but my inability to find where Apple stores the automount info now in 10.9 is making it impossible. Here is what is happening under 10.9:
If a network sharepoint is mounted on a 10.9 client and the server which is hosting that sharepoint restarts or otherwise goes offline for a short period the client machine will apparently create an automount entry for that sharepoint if you do not choose the "Disconnect" option when the OS informs you the server is gone. By doing this when the server comes back up it will be mounted automatically. This actually is a very nice feature, however when it runs into this other bug:
HOW TO Mount a Network Share using the Automount as non-root
it becomes a nightmare. Briefly this bug is that anything mounted via autofs mounts as ROOT (and not as the logged in user, which is what occurs when you use command-K Connect to Server), therefore even though it is mounted the user cannot access it at all. If you look at the /Volumes folder you can see the share is there but there is no disclosure triangle (meaning you can't see the contents) and clicking on it only confirms that by giving you the "you don't have permission" message.
The real problem now comes in when you restart. When you restart the client the machine mounts that share prior to the Finder loading.... and even if you have an actual alias to the share as well in startup items, it simply points to that already mounted root-owned share you have no access to, so you get an open window that is empty. Also any reference to that sharepoint in the dock is empty. You can then do Connect to Server and manually mount it again, and it does give you access, but it mounts as SHAREPOINT-1, so the reference in the dock still does not work thus removing any utility by having a reference to it in the Dock. So there is no way to have these shares that the OS helpfully tried to make automount actually mount automatically at login or restart! Oh the irony. The only work around is to just not do that and to manually unmount them from /Volumes and then to remount them using command-K (aliases only seem to point to SHAREPOINT not SHAREPOINT-1).
So my question at this point is this: Where the heck is Apple storing these autofs entries telling it to mount these shares automatically. I've seen references online to /etc/autofs but I don't have that file in my /etc folder and although I do have auto_home, auto_master, autofs.conf none of those contain anything with any sort of reference to the shares in question I'm having a problem with. I'm thinking if I can just find the correct file I can simply remove those references (or delete the file if it is a cache) to restore normal behavior of not automounting.
Or Apple could fix the bug that mounts these things as ROOT instead of as the logged in user. But it seems it has been around for at least 3 years so I'm not gonna hold my breath.
As an addendum, this occurs whether or not the server that got disconnected is OS X Server. I have an OS X Server 10.8 and a regular 10.9 both sharing up folders and this occurred on a client for both. It is strictly a client side issue.Problem resolved, turned out to be an application, Synk Pro, that was mounting these servers as root so it could do its syncing if they ever became unmounted.

How to control DE USB disk Automounts.
Hi,
Can someone please guide me as to how to 'control' Automounts by DE when we plug USB disk drives.
I have KDE4 on my Arch system. When I connect a pen drive/USB HDD which is formatted as vfat/NTFS, the system(or KDE) 'Automounts' it in /media and I have read/write access to it. But if I use the same drive and format it as ext4, it wont be mounted as read/write for normal users but only for root.
Now pen drives and USB HDD's are removable storage drives and hence are volatile and could not have a fixed mount point, so it cannot be mounted by putting an entry in fstab or could they?. And I need my USB HDD frequently, and manually mounting it through CLI everytime and working on it as root is a bad idea i guess.
I am posting this because m confused as to how to control this Automount feature-What is the backend to it? Because I've read that HAL no longer takes care of it and that HAL will be deprecated soon, instead UDEV takes care of it. If that is the case then should I be concerned about polkit? Because that is what's the output provided by Dolphin(freedesktop.org policy prevented blah blah).
Another thing is if HAL is still in use and Automounts my devices then is it independent or polkit is a part of it. Then, is using hal-easy an option or replacement to standard HAL. ??!!??
I tried HAL archwiki and used the code to give a user permission to give rw access to automounted ext filesystems, but then nothing is mounted, it sings the same old freedesktop.org prevented bla blah song. And I think this is a question for all linuxes using Gnome and KDE in general.
Any help is appreciated.If by 'ability to mount as user' you mean to mount it manually but read/write access to normal users then yes. But primarily I need automounting as user, also be able to give access to other users for read/write et filesystem automounts.

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86
I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.

Solaris 10 automount against OpenLDAP server
Hi ya'll,
Another Solaris question that I'm searching around about...
I'm using Solaris's native LDAP client on Soalris 10 6/06. My LDAP server is an OpenLDAP server under Fedora Core 5. The Solaris client can talk to the server fine, everything is cool except for the fact that automounting isn't working. I'm guessing it's a schema issue but I'm not sure where to go... I'll post a few examples of my config and maybe someone can see something wrong:
From /etc/nsswitch.conf:
automount: files ldap
/etc/auto_master:
/projects auto.projects
/home auto.home
/- auto.direct -rw,hard,intr
from nis.schema file on OpenLDAP server:
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.26 NAME 'nisMapName'
SUP name )
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.27 NAME 'NisMapEntry'
EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match
SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{1024} SINGLE-VALUE )
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.9 NAME 'nisMap' SUP top STRUCTURAL
DESC 'A generic abstraction of a NIS map'
MUST nisMapName
MAY description )
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.10 NAME 'nisObject' SUP top STRUCTURAL
DESC 'An entry in a NIS map'
MUST ( cn $ NisMapEntry $ nisMapName )
MAY description )
On the LDAP server the automounts are listed as "nisMapName=auto.home" etc.
I read somewhere that in the nis.schema file, all references to "nisMapEntry" need to be changed to all lowercase, ie "nismapentry", but I tried that and restarted the LDAP server, restarted autofs on the client, still nothing. Does anyone know what schema changes need to be made? Or maybe changes that need to be made to something else that I'm not aware of? Or do I need to make any other schema changes to my Solaris 10 native LDAP client as well?
This is a clip from the OpenLDAP log on the OpenLDAP server. It seems like the automount information request is getting through, but maybe the data it returns to Solaris is in an unrecognizable format or something?

Linux clients work out of the box without any config changes (but then again these linux clients come stock with an openldap client so I'm not surprised they would communicate with one of their own kind).
Thanks in advance for any insight!!!

snooping the network, i see that the calls from ldaplist include the nisMapName=auto_* filter, while the calls made by the automounter don't
is there a way to get the automounter to respect the SSD?

Solaris 10 and NFS/Automount into Solaris 8 Env.
Hello fellow Administrators,
I have recently upgraded my own station to Solaris 10 6/06 update 2 in a Solaris 8 NIS/Automount environment. How ever, i have noticed that my station from time to time 'frezzez' and becomes unresponding. It's as if the system hangs due to some sort of conversation/hand shake with my NIS Server. I have several automounts in my vfstab to my local NIS server.
Question, has anyone else had similair problems/experiances ?
Grateful to any answer that can solve this mystery of mine.
Regards,
PierreHi Robert,
Seems to be working better now and i tried on a user as well and there are no complains yet. In the end i applied the latest Sun Cluster for Sol 10 (not many where applied to the 6/06 update 2) and your small 'hack'.
Thank's a bunch!

What's the best way to automount DVD and networksharing?
Hey Guys.
Just a Question - to hear if its possible to make it work ?
I have through time build a little MythTV setup on ArchLinux.
And - damn I'm happy with it.
The only remaining problem I've got now - is how to share the DVD on the network. Since I'm using powersaving frontends, I have no DVD for playing DVD's. And since I got kids and A LOT cartoons, I would be glad to make this works perfectly.
I've tried to make it work using NFS - I've discovered some lacking in the picture and sound when playing DVD's.
I've tried with samba, and got actually a happy solution, BUT there's a problem that I needing to make happend automaticly.
1. Automount the DVD after inserting it into DVD-drive. Also umount the drive when pushing the buttom on the drive.
2. I shalll now restart samba after inserting the dvd - Isn't it possible that the drive is dicovered automaticly after mounted in the directory: ??? allso when finished playing the DVD - I need to stop samba before I can umount the DVD - Is it possible to avoid stopping samba for umounting the DVD ?
3. How is it possible to make this action automaticly when inserting a DVD or pushing a button on the frontend that starts it all using a shellscript or so?
Mostly becaurse I'm thinking about hidding the server in a special place and have a DVD shared from a external/internal device? So this action should happen automaticly after inserting the DVD - that its accessable on the network - and removed when pushing the button on the drive?
Let me here a little about the your experiences with this problem. I've tried the wiki about getting autofs to make it work - but here's my solution for now
TIA

Last edited by peque (2009-06-04 19:19:14)The automount of the drive from fstab - yes - and have no problems on the frontends.
But when inserting a DVD - you'll need to mount -a to mount the see the contents of the dvd - (if this can automaticly be disvovered by fstab - please tell me - I cannot see it)
And again afters wards - when finishing the DVD - when pressing the buttom - eject - It's says the device is busy.
You'll need to stop samba - carse its samba that uses the device. After stopping samba - no problem with umounting the device.
Again . please guide me in the rigth way - to make this happen automaticly!
