- We just recently got in a new RS/6000 and installed 3.2.3 on it. I have
- been trying to get the automounter to work to mount a disk on another
- RS/6000 running 3.1.5. On the client system I have a file called
- /etc/auto.direct (to be consistant with the Sun convention) that contains:
-
- # cat /etc/auto.direct
- dir1 rw asdrs1:/usr/local/dir1
- dir2 rw asdrs1:/usr/local/dir2
-
- I have created the /usr/remote directory and /usr/remote/dir1 and /usr
- /remote/dir2 directories on the client. I have exported the /usr directory
- on the server (asdrs1) so I know I have access from the client. I have tried
- mounting and unmounting this filesystem manually, so I have no doubt that the
- server permits the filesystem to be mounted by the client.
-
- I started the automounter with:
-
- /usr/sbin/automount /usr/remote /etc/auto.direct
-
- and it seemed to start just fine. But when I cd down to /usr/remote on the
- client there is nothing there. The dir1 and dir2 which I just created have
- disappeared. A df shows:
-
- # df
- Filesystem Total KB free %used iused %iused Mounted on
- /dev/hd4 8192 3260 60% 809 39% /
- /dev/hd2 602112 92084 84% 25272 16% /usr
- /dev/hd9var 4096 3152 23% 63 6% /var
- /dev/hd3 12288 11708 4% 28 0% /tmp
- /dev/hd30 380928 368812 3% 17 0% /usr4
- asdrs2.monsanto.com:(pid18867) 0 0 -1% - - /usr/remote
-
- which shows that the automounter is running.
-
- Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is going wrong? The setup I am
- using is almost exactly identical to the automounter example given in info.
- I can't see any substantive difference, except that it doesn't work.
-
- I have not tried the automounter under any other release of AIX, since we just
- now got in a situation where we need it.
-
- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please post your responses to
- me and I will summarize for the group.
