Hi, https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/storage/autofs/autofs/+/a557e6261afc87d3849b557257185ff72be15a82%5E%21/#F0 dropped the escaping of "$", since the whole thing is later double quoted anyway. That fixes automounting of windows administrative shares (ending in "$" like "C$"): --- autofs-5.1.6.orig/samples/auto.smb +++ autofs-5.1.6/samples/auto.smb @@ -75,8 +75,6 @@ $SMBCLIENT $smbopts -gL "$key" 2>/dev/nu dir = $2 loc = $2 # Enclose mount dir and location in quotes - # Double quote "$" in location as it is special - gsub(/\$$/, "\\$", loc); gsub(/\&/,"\\\\&",loc) print " \\\n\t \"/" dir "\"", "\"://" key "/" loc "\"" } I think that the escaping of "&" should also be removed, otherwise we get the same issue there: attempting to mount entry /cifs/localhost/a&b lookup_mount: lookup(program): /cifs/localhost/a&b -> -fstype=cifs,guest ://localhost/a\&b parse_mount: parse(sun): expanded entry: -fstype=cifs,guest ://localhost/a\&b parse_mount: parse(sun): gathered options: fstype=cifs,guest sun_mount: parse(sun): mounting root /cifs/localhost/a&b, mountpoint /cifs/localhost/a&b, what //localhost/a\&b, fstype cifs, options guest do_mount: //localhost/a\&b /cifs/localhost/a&b type cifs options guest using module generic mount_mount: mount(generic): calling mkdir_path /cifs/localhost/a&b mount_mount: mount(generic): calling mount -t cifs -o guest //localhost/a\&b /cifs/localhost/a&b >> mount error(2): No such file or directory >> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) mount(generic): failed to mount //localhost/a\&b (type cifs) on /cifs/localhost/a&b dev_ioctl_send_fail: token = 10 failed to mount /cifs/localhost/a&b $ /etc/auto.smb localhost -fstype=cifs,guest \ "/print$" "://localhost/print$" \ "/myshare" "://localhost/myshare" \ "/C$" "://localhost/C$" \ "/a&b" "://localhost/a\&b" It's a bit scary to deal with $ and & in shell, so maybe I'm missing something, but the current auto.smb script doesn't work with shares that have "&" in their names.
