Re: Problems with autofs



Dne, 12. 04. 2011 17:39:35 je Aniruddha napisal(a):
I try to automagically mount an usb drive following the autofs instructions in the wiki ( http://wiki.debian.org/AutoFs ). For some reason it just doesn't work. I can't find any relevant error message in messages or syslog. Any ideas where I can begin to troubleshoot? Thanks!

# cat  /etc/auto.master
/var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=2,sync,nodev,nosui

Is that the only line in your auto.master? Have you checked in /var/autofs/removable? Have you restarted autofs?

# cat  /etc/auto.removable
usb             -fstype=auto       UUID="7DF2-7401"

The quotes around the UUID may be superfluous.

# lsmod | grep autofs
autofs4                24072  1

# blkid /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="KINGSTON" UUID="7DF2-7401" TYPE="vfat"


Try with LABEL=KINGSTON if you can't make it work with UUID...?
Then again, Linux may just plain hate vfat...
