Hi To make auto mount work first we have to configure to "/etc/auto.master" It is like this /autodir /etc/auto.misc This means that the when we start the auto mount daemon it begins to monitor the directory "/autodir" second we have to create the directory on which we are going to mount and that should be under the /autodir directory third configure the "/etc/auto.misc" like this /autodir/mountdir -rw,soft,intr nfsserver:/nfsshare then start the autofs daemon "service autofs start" On 31/10/06, Dave Martini <martini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I'm trying to get automounts to work on my RHEL 4 machine. When I start the autofs service I get these errors. How do I get it so it automounts my directories from my NIS domain? I don't want to have to put each mount in the /etc/fstab file if possible. I would like autofs to handle it. host1# service autofs reload automount not running host1# service autofs start Starting automount: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable No Mountpoints Defined [ OK ] [root# more /etc/auto.master # # $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $ # # Sample auto.master file # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # For details of the format look at autofs(5). #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 #/misc /etc/auto.misc #/net /etc/auto.net # service autofs status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable Active Mount Points: -------------------- I have another machine RHEL 3 that automounts work on.
