I've not tried putting my NFS mount options in fstab because I've had problems doing that before. I seem to recall that at the time that fstab was processed before network services loaded, so the NFS mount could never be discovered/found, and it would error out.

Autofs has worked very well for me and I'd like to keep using that.

When I do a directory listing on the remote NFS share, I don't get "nobody" - I get numbers. But I can verify idmapd isn't starting.

Thoughts?

Did you create/edit /etc/auto.master? I doubt you would need to, but you may also want to take a look at /etc/idmapd.conf.

Yes, my /etc/imapd.conf and /etc/auto.master are set up correctly. The thing is, the NFS mount is there... it works just fine.... except, well, when I do a directory listing, I see things like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 13944 2009-01-19 15:14 file1.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 17472 2009-01-19 17:13 file2.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 26589 2009-01-19 14:44 file3.jpg Instead of "4294967294" I should be seeing the owning user and group, like "joe" and "users" - you get the idea. I know it's because idmapd isn't running. The problem is, /etc/init.d/nfs won't load idmapd because I have no NFS mounts in /etc/fstab, and I can't seem to invoke idmapd directly. This was not the case with opensuse 11.0 or 10.3. Thoughts? Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
