I have a problem with automount using rcautofs which is generating an error message <snip> Starting automount startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/automount: 3 failed </snip>
So i googled and couldn't find a solution off the net BUT whe i edit the auto mount files
e.g /etc/auto.misc I see CDROM specified i opened up this for USB drives *removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd* /etc/auto.master i included the file /misc /etc/auto.misc
And at this point when i run *rcautofs start* it returns positive results!
<snip> rltashk:~ # rcautofs start Starting automount done rltashk:~ # rcautofs status Checking for service automount running </snip>
Am wondering how I can achieve a quick way of fixing this
I will be grateful and thanks
Could you tell me what rcautofs is? I use autofs all the time to mount my home directory without any problem.
thing is i have been using the rcautofs to start the deamon like it works for other packages like rcapache2 etc ...
BUT for this particualar one it doesnt start the deamon. problem is USB drives and memory sticks anything that uses the USB ports BUT fro CDROM moment i drop it in it can be read.
When i start it that the error i get. <snip> rltashk:~ # ls -la /etc/init.d/autofs - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3126 2007-10-30 15:22 /etc/init.d/autofs rltashk:~ # locate rcautofs /usr/sbin/rcautofs rltashk:~ # /etc/init.d/autofs status Checking for service automount unused rltashk:~ # /etc/init.d/autofs start Starting automount done rltashk:~ # /etc/init.d/autofs status Checking for service automount unused rltashk:~ # /etc/init.d/autofs start Starting automount startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/automount: 3 failed /snip>
Just out of curiosity did you uncomment in /etc/auto.master auto.misc?
Yes i did in both files in auto.misc i did for the removable and and in auto.master i uncommented out the misc.
I realized when i was updating the packages database and had to comment them as they were before.
having edited this file am I in danger?

First you should be addressing this to the mailing list and not to me directly. I am running opensuse 10.3 and rcautofs does not exixt on my system at all. I do not understand what you are talking about. I did a man rcautofs and id does not shown up nor is it in my /sbin. I usually start autofs up by doing /etc/init.d/autofs start It looks like you have not installed the drivers properly. I would first suggest that you start posting the /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc files first. another thing you are asking about the memory stick aut mounts. You again need to mention which desktop. I run gnome and it automounts the various items with no problem. Which version of opensuse are you using? -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Sorry for the late post!

Its symbolic link. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-30 09:31 /usr/sbin/rcautofs -> /etc/init.d/autofs

It exists.

It used to work with mine from openSuSE 10.1 BUT after 10.2 and 10.3 haven't got any luck having my USB devices auto mounted
Which version of opensuse are you using?
Am running openSuSE 10.3 KDE. -- Cheers, Ronnie. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
