If I do a df -h . in /usr/local it looks as it should be, but /usr/local does not show with a 'mount', so I guess the answer is no? Thanks Mark On 17 October 2011 07:22, Per Jessen wrote:

Hey guys,

I want to automount the /usr/local directory from my fileserver (SLES 11 SP1) on my desktop (OpenSUSE 11.4).

 This is the /etc/exports file on server1:

 /usr/local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(rw,sync)

 This is the /etc/auto.master on desktop1:

 #+auto.master  /usr/local /etc/auto.local --timeout=300 --ghost

 And the /etc/auto.local file on desktop1:  * -fstype=nfs,rw,nosuid,soft server1.where.ever:/usr/local

 But I cannot cd into anything under /usr/local after restarting all the daemons, I just get 'No such file or directory'.

 Where am I going wrong? I don't use LDAP. The autofs RPM is autofs-5.0.3-89.12.1

Your config looks fine - does your /usr/local/ file system actually get mounted?

No, it doesn't show with just a df.....and there is nothing in the logs related to autofs :( On 17 October 2011 10:19, Per Jessen wrote:

Sounds like it - does it show if you just do 'df' ?  Also check /var/log/messages for messages from the automounter.

Try grepping for 'automount'.

Also, maybe amend /etc/sysconfig/autofs :

AUTOFS_OPTIONS="-v"

OK, so portmap was not running because that package wasn't installed on the server. I installed it, then ran into portmap[20840]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use type errors. I managed to kill something that was using port 111 and both nfs and portmap are now running, but I still have the same problem. /# rcnfs status Checking for mounted nfs shares (from /etc/fstab): running /# rcportmap status Checking for RPC portmap daemon: running Is there anything else I can check?

So Carlos was spot on when he suggested you try a manual mount first. :-)  Looks like the portmapper isn't running on your NFS server.

The firewall is disabled on both server and desktop. Tried a reboot of both also.

You still have to mount the share manually on the client, and if it fails, look in the logs.

My guess is that you have to restart firewalls, to make them aware of portmap.

That's affirmative to both, but still no joy: Checking for service rpcbind running /home/slc25# ls /usr/sbin/exportfs /usr/sbin/exportfs /home/slc25# /usr/sbin/exportfs Your help is appreciated! On 17 October 2011 16:03, Per Jessen wrote:

And you're sure rpcbind (which provides portmap) is running on the server?  rcrpcbind status

Also do an 'exportfs' on the server to check that what you need is exported and served.

Yes, you proved thqat the binary file exists, now run it.

I did.

Please post the output of "exportfs" - if you did already, I didn't see any exported filesystems.

This may be a stupid question, are the services running?

Not stupid at all - Mark, did you configure /etc/exports and did you start the NFS server? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You need service "rpcbind" running in the client (and the server). At least that's how I do it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
