Is anyone using automounter to mount NFS and - of course - CDs and USB sticks? CDs and USB stick yes, NFS no. ?? I thought it was the other way round - that the auto-mounter (/etc/auto.master .... and so on) dealt with NFS and some kind of kernel event handler deal with CD/USB.
Sorry, I misread your question - I meant to say that CDs and USB sticks are automagically mounted, NFS isn't. But you specifically asked about the _automounter_ ....
My bad, my ignorance. Since that exchange I've played around with autofs, /etc/auto.master and a /etc/auto.net I can now set up a symlink from ~/server to /mnt/server/$LOGIN and 'cd' there and WOW! (ditto for a few other things like videos on the server...) The funny thing is that as root, if I try a 'ls' I get a 'permission denied' message. I thought root was God. So that's working and hackable for more entries ....
I don't see anything in YAST to help with this. Is this configuration all manual? AFAIK, the automount of removable media is automagic - NFS automount must be manually configured. Well that 'magic' isn't happening with 11.1 as it did with 11.0. How do I get it back? What's the appropriate 'pixie dust'?
That sounds like a serious bug - AFAIK it should just work out-of-the-box. Don't really know the details though.
Now I'm wondering if the bug is in the upgrade-that-was-overwrite. I mentioned the event handler - ivman. I looked at it once and the config file was big and intractable. Well, it wasn't like most other config files, but I suppose it did the job, it was just that most config files I can understand and hack about. I also recall reading that event management was 'now' handled in the kernel. Sorry, I don't recall where. So I'm reluctant to just keep installing stuff on top of stuff on top of stuff. On that issue I have another question. I mentioned clearing out from /usr/lib files that didn't belong to any packages. But installing tools and then removing them means that /usr/lib fills up with 'orphaned' libraries. They DO belong to a package, its just that the program that uses them has been removed. Hence 'orphaned'. Is there any way to check for them and hence purge them? All I can think of is running ldd on EVERY program and library and building a tree and seeing what's not on the tree.
