| Post subject: | Autofs samba issues |
I've been trying all night to get autofs working with samba using this guide: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... +and+samba ...and haven't had any luck. This is my /etc/auto.master file: Code: # $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $ # Sample auto.master file # Format of this file: # mountpoint map options # For details of the format look at autofs(5). # /var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.misc # /var/autofs/net /etc/auto.net # KNOPPIX automounts for floppy and cdrom(s), see knoppix-autoconfig /mnt/auto /etc/auto.mnt --timeout=2 /var/autofs/usb /etc/auto.usb --timeout=2 #/mnt/auto /etc/automount.sh --timeout=2 /myth /etc/auto.samba.mnt --timeout=2 --ghost This is my /etc/auto.samba.mnt file: Code: music -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/home/mythtv/.smbpassword ://xpBox/Music This is my /home/mythtv/.smbpassword file: Code: username=myth password=myth Lastly I have done: Code: /etc/init.d/autofs start update-rc.d autofs defaults as well as restarting the computer multiple times. Now, this line works fine for me (after creating the /myth/music folder): Code: smbmount '\\xpBox\Music' /myth/music -o username=myth,password=myth
Does anyone have any ideas? (and is there any way to view a log file of some sort for autofs?) |

1 Issue. autofs won't mount if a directory already existing (/myth in this case) Change in auto.master Code: /myth /etc/auto.samba.mnt --timeout=2 --ghost to Code: /myth/music/network /etc/auto.samba.mnt --timeout=2 --ghost Do not create network directory, autofs will automatically create /myth/music/network/music directory. Personally what I do is automount my shares to /mnt/ and them symlink to mounts. /etc/auto.master Code: mnt/network /etc/auto.samba.mnt --timeout=2 --ghost /etc/auto.samba.mnt Code: win-media fstype=smbfs,credentials=/home/mythtv/.smbpassword ://192.168.0.100/My_Media Code: #Add username/password to /home/mythtv/.smbpassword
echo username=mythtv >> /home/mythtv/.smbpassword echo password=mythtv >> /home/mythtv/.smbpassword #Stop & Start autofs /etc/init.d/autofs stop /etc/init.d/autofs start #Create links in appropiate directory for media shares ln -s /mnt/network/win-media/pictures /myth/gallery/win-media-pictures ln -s /mnt/network/win-media/music /myth/music/win-media-music ln -s /mnt/network/win-media/video /myth/music/win-media-video |

Actually, I only created that music folder when testing that last manual mount command. For most of the time that I spent banging my head I had the music folder removed. |

It is the /myth folder that cannot exist given your auto.master file. Which probably is not a good idea to delete /myth as it holds the media and more for MythTV. make your auto.master file Code: /myth/music/network /etc/auto.samba.mnt --timeout=2 --ghost
specify any directory that does NOT exist. |
