Not really. autofs only sees lookups at its mountpoint level (ie, /fs2 in your case). I guess if nfshomes isn't mounted from the NFS server, it could also trigger at that level, but the common case where the exports are dir and dir/subdir, once you mount dir, it can't trigger on any lookups under there (that's effectively a direct mount). Perhaps you could modify your auto.net and your autofs setup, so that nfshomes is the autofs mountpoint, and each home dir is treated as a separate key?

I know, I just wanted to test to see if it worked ;) The main reason for pointing it out is that sun's automounter will work properly in those cases. Here's what the map looks like above, including and below the home directory section. gridengine rogueleader:/export/gridengine nfshomes \ /brinda deimos:/export/nfshomes2/brinda \ /dtsouma deimos:/export/nfshomes2/dtsouma \ /ijdar deimos:/export/nfshomes2/ijdar \ ... /gvijay deimos:/export/nfshomes2/gvijay \ /gcraigm deimos:/export/nfshomes1/gcraigm \ /weszka deimos:/export/nfshomes1/weszka \ /pooja deimos:/export/nfshomes1/pooja \ /msubotin deimos:/export/nfshomes2/msubotin volumes deimos:/export/projects/archive/volumes volumes2 deimos:/export/projects/archive/volumes2 > > Not really. autofs only sees lookups at its mountpoint level (ie, /fs2 > in your case).

In our case the entire /fs tree has automount items in it, not just /fs/nfshomes, so starting autofs on /fs/nfshomes isn't possible. Unfortunately, due to the 4095 character/line limit in the autofs and sun automounter code we're probably just going to set it up as a seperate mount tree (/nfshomes or something). Trying to scale out more than a few dozen home directories is presenting a large headache. The only thing that we've found to do arbitrary layering is amd, but training users not to use /a/ or /.automount is futile and it has some stability issues on solaris + dfs.

The text (in autofs version 3.1.7, as distributed with Red Hat Linux 8.0) reads: Executable Maps A map can be marked as executable. The init script that parses the auto.master map will pass this as a program map to the automounter. A program map will be called as a script with the key as an argument. The script needs to return one line of a map or no output at all if the key cannot be matched. The last sentence is incorrect. In reality, the script needs to return *one line of a map, but with the first field (the key) deleted*. This error wasted a considerable amount of my time, and I hope you can fix it in the next release. In addition, I think it would be helpful if you could expand README.options a bit. First, it would be helpful to note that the autofs binary uses a library of modules, so autofs *must be installed* in the location it was built for before it can be executed. Second, it would be helpful if there were an option to ./configure that compiled and linked autofs with symbols and without optimization (-g -O0), which is what one wants for debugging. I found that I had to do a considerable mount of hand editing of Makefiles to generate a binary with a symbol table. I suspect that both of these tasks are straightforward, but for a naive user like me, there are no pointers to how to go about them.

When I set nfsvers=2 as an option to mount the problem appears to have disappeared. I attempted to start automounter with the nfsvers=2 (that should pass it to mount as an option) but it quietly dies -- I surmise that this is due to the fact that its passes the fs type as autofs and not nfs. After viewing mtab I saw a min and max proto defined. I am ASSUMING that is to set the nfs version. IS that correct ? If so how do I set it ? Thanks in advance for reading and any help you can lend me. Just out of curiosity has anyone else seen this issue?

Sorry for two things: 01 - I don't speak english, i'm brazilian, but I try. 02 - Maybe this place is not best for my question, but I don't have more hope. I have one LAN using remote X terminals. So, I install and configure the autofs in the workstations and in the X server. But I can't umount the floppy. My server have: auto.master: /var/montag/ /etc/auto.floppy --timeout 30 auto.floppy: floppy_bilbo -fstype=nfs,suid,rw 192.168.247.4:/var/montag/floppy_ws_01 And in the workstation: auto.master: /var/montag /etc/auto.floppy --timeout 30 auto.floppy: floppy_ws_01 -fstype=vfat,suid,rw :/dev/fd0 exports: /var/montag/floppy_ws_01 192.168.247.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash) So, the automount work fine with this configuration. When the station access the directory /var/montag/floppy_bilbo, the server mount with nfs the floppy of station(your own floppy device) and all work fine. But, the autofs no umount the device and I do not have any permission to write in floppy. Whats happend?? I have no idea. In time: if I try umount manually, the umount not work. I need help.

Simply put, NFS isn't designed to do what you're trying to do, because NFS doesn't really track if it's used elsewhere (it's supposed to be stateless and all that.) -hpa _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs From autofs-admin@linux.kernel.org Fri Feb 7 19:42:35 2003 Return-Path: Received: from hera.kernel.org (IDENT:root@hera.kernel.org [63.209.29.2]) by Mail.Linux-Consulting.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA12866 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 2003 19:42:35 -0800 Received: from hera.kernel.org (IDENT:mailman@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hera.kernel.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h181qTA02806; Fri, 7 Feb 2003 17:52:29 -0800 Received: from unogate.unocal.com (unogate.unocal.com [192.94.3.1]) by hera.kernel.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h181p7A02699 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 2003 17:51:07 -0800 Received: from saratoga.unocal.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by unogate.unocal.com (8.12.7/8.12.7) with ESMTP id h17Md3Ef011390 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 2003 14:39:07 -0800 (PST) Received: by saratoga.unocal.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2655.55) id ; Fri, 7 Feb 2003 14:39:03 -0800 Message-ID: <41C61615CE88D211AA3500805F9FFECE05D4B813@renegade.sugarland.unocal.com> From: "Ogden, Aaron A."

Refer to http://www.themaw.net/includehtml.php?sendit=ians_html/autofs.html for more information if you wish. There have been a few changes to the autofs4 module in kernel release 2.4.20 that break this patch. I have looked through the Changelog for 2.4.20 and 2.4.19 and don't see any reference to the changes. I have also had a brief look through the archives of this list without success. A first look indicates that the problem for me has been caused by the removal of the file_operations definition autofs4_dir_operations in root.c. Then the dcache default file_operations are used for inode initialization in inode.c instead. My initial impression is that if there is a specific reason for using the dcache default then I will need to work on an autofs4 implementation of dcache_dir_lseek. The rest may be OK. To save me some time and possible pain I am hoping to find out the reasoning behind this change from the implementor. Please copy any reply to my personal email address as I am not subscribed to this list. I think that the autofs list is closed to people who are not subscribed so I will forward any replies that don't make it there.

Sun calls this feature 'browsing' and Solaris has had it for some time. I don't believe that Irix, AIX and other Unices have this ability, so it would be a big plus if Linux could do it. I'm surprised that this feature hasn't made it into the autofs kernel module yet, it would seem to be a feature that would be widely used. I can't speak for anybody else but I would very much like to keep up with current developments on the autofs list. (isn't that the point of a mailing list? :-) ) -A -----Original Message----- From: Ian Kent [mailto:raven@themaw.net] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 8:43 AM To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: autofs@linux.kernel.org Subject: [autofs] 2.4.20 autofs4 changes Hi all, I have written a patch for the autofs4 kernel module (and autofs 4.0.0-pre10 daemon) to deal with ghosting of directories (and to a limited degree, direct automount maps). Refer to http://www.themaw.net/includehtml.php?sendit=ians_html/autofs.html for more information if you wish. There have been a few changes to the autofs4 module in kernel release 2.4.20 that break this patch. I have looked through the Changelog for 2.4.20 and 2.4.19 and don't see any reference to the changes. I have also had a brief look through the archives of this list without success. A first look indicates that the problem for me has been caused by the removal of the file_operations definition autofs4_dir_operations in root.c. Then the dcache default file_operations are used for inode initialization in inode.c instead. My initial impression is that if there is a specific reason for using the dcache default then I will need to work on an autofs4 implementation of dcache_dir_lseek. The rest may be OK. To save me some time and possible pain I am hoping to find out the reasoning behind this change from the implementor. Please copy any reply to my personal email address as I am not subscribed to this list. I think that the autofs list is closed to people who are not subscribed so I will forward any replies that don't make it there.

Until they've been through a heavy grinder, I don't trust them. During autofs v3 development after the dcache was added I would find bugs that would show only after several days of running on a hundred heavily loaded SMP machines with a 1-second timeout.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect users to navigate blindly through hundreds or thousands of auto-mounted filesystems. For home directories it is easy since the user knows her own username. For automounted data directores it becomes a big problem. I don't think any of the other commercial Unices have this feature either so it's not a 'linux' problem.

It plays well with the original v4 and your v3. And yes there are unusual problems that I cannot nail. However, it is not at all clear whether they are caused by my kernel patch, the autofs daemon or nfs. Until the nfs client is rock solid I will probably not nail any of the problems. That said we need this functionality in the automounter. Linux will not cut it in the enterprise without it.

The clients mount the NFS disks using autofs This doesn't cause a problem in normal use (processes running on the client can access the mounted file system OK) - but if the server reboots, processes on the client get 'permission denied' when accessing the mounted file system from the server (not surprising, as the server has no record on the mount). The problem _seems_ to occur with processes on the client that are in a defunct state, and may have been so for days (or weeks) e.g. here is the edited logs from a client and server: client: messages.4:Jan 20 13:00:04 client automount[505]: attempting to mount entry /export/server1 messages.4:Jan 20 13:09:55 client automount[2416]: expired /export/server1 messages.4:Jan 20 13:21:48 client automount[505]: attempting to mount entry /export/server1 server: messages.4:Jan 20 13:00:04 server rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from client:641 for /disk1 (/disk1) messages.4:Jan 20 13:09:55 server rpc.mountd: authenticated unmount request from client:898 for /disk1 (/disk1) messages.4:Jan 20 13:21:48 server rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from client:709 for /disk1 (/disk1) messages.4:Jan 20 14:09:40 server rpc.mountd: authenticated unmount request from client:912 for /disk1 (/disk1) As you can see, rpc.mountd on the server has recorded an unmount request at 14:09:40, but there is no corresponding automount 'expired' message on the client for this file system ... the file system is still mounted on the client (and usable) - however, if the server were to reboot, then the client would no longer be able to access the file system. If I kill the parent process of the defunct process, autofs will not umount the mount, but I can manually umount the file system and then access it again as normal. I'm using a 2.4.18 based kernels on the client and server. The server is using nfs-utils 0.3.3 and the client autofs 4.0.0pre10 Could there be a case where automount tells the server it's umounting a mount, but then finds it can't actually do the umount?

With my particular problem, there was nothing in the system log on the client to indicate the the NFS filesystem couldn't be umounted - i.e. under what circumstances could umount think it's OK to umount, but the actual umount fails - if I try to umount an NFS filesystem that has open resources, it get a 'device is busy' error.

It appears that the NFS client is a little broken in 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 that we are aware of. Here are a couple of paragraphs from a mail I received this morning: Begin quote ... So, seems that the kernels from 2.4.18 onwards introduced a problem with the NFS code. Symptoms are that 'stat' type operations fail on directories above a certain size. I can 'ls' in my home directory, but not 'ls -l' . If I cd to a smaller directory, then I can 'ls' and 'ls -l'. I can cd to a very big directory and 'ls' still seems to work. I tried various combinations of NFS 2, NFS 3, UDP and TCP and different read and write sizes, all to no avail. There is definitely a problem. The symptom that was driving me nuts was that every time I tried to look up a man page, or typed a command wrong, my shell went off into never-never land while it stumbled off down MANPATH and PATH's. Something about directory operations ain't right. End quote. 2.4.17 works fine, with or without Tronds' patches.

I've been looking into the umount code a bit more, trying to work out what's going on - however it appears that as rpc.mountd on the server is contacted before the umount, then the entry in /var/lib/nfs/rmtab on the server for the client mount is removed regardless of the success of the umount system call ... This means that if you attempt a umount of an NFS file system, but get an error like 'device is busy', then if the server reboots, the client gets 'permission denied' on the NFS file system mount point ... Surely this can't be right? Fortunately, as autofs doesn't appear to attempt a umount until the mount point is 'free', then you shouldn't have this problem - unless you manually umount the mount point, or something goes wrong... The man page for rpc.mountd states: The rmtab File For every mount request received from an NFS client, rpc.mountd adds an entry to the /var/state/nfs/rmtab file. When receiving an unmount request, that entry is removed. user level part of the NFS service. However, this file is mostly ornamental. One, the client can continue to use the file handle even after calling rpc.mountd 's UMOUNT procedure. And two, if a client reboots without notifying rpc.mountd , a stale entry will remain in rmtab. which appears to suggest that having 'stale' entries in rmtab is not a problem, which seems to suggest that dropping the RPC umount call wouldn't cause any adverse effects - and also stop the 'permission denied' my problem ...

Autofs4 addresses this in two ways. For the actual busyness check, it holds the dcache lock while traversing the dentries, so that shouldn't change during the check. It also blocks new name traversals while it is doing an expiry check, so once it has decided a tree is not busy, and gets the daemon to do the umount, new users are blocked until the umount is finished. Once the umount is done, the new users will trigger a new mount.

My /home accounts are all automounted.

Isn't autofs v4 supposed to fix this? I remember Jeremy mentioning that the filesystem would lock all accesses to a dentry scheduled to be unmounted until the daemon replied to the request. In fact, from his web page: Previously, when the kernel sent an expire message to the daemon it was more an hint than anything else. Now the kernel makes certain that the tree isn't busy before sending an expire message to the daemon. It also blocks all new users of the tree until the umount is complete, so that they can't see a partially mounted tree.

What's the context? HPA was saying that autofs checks if a filesystem is busy before trying to unmount it, but does not lock it, so that a remount request could come in while umount is still running.

I still get the occasional "self-destruct in 5 seconds" message once in a blue moon, usually on daemon shutdown when it unmounts the autofs mountpoint. It could be that amd does something wrong -- although I doubt it, I wrote that code :) -- still it shouldn't cause kernel problems, no matter what. IIRC, the self-destruct message is printed when the filesystem still has inodes with non-zero i_count. So it's an inode leak. But I haven't hacked filesystems in over one year, so my memory could be a bit fuzzy.

Peter Anvin [mailto:hpa@zytor.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 2:30 AM To: autofs@kernel.org Subject: [autofs] Abusing read_link for fun and profit Well, the recent discussion gave me an idea for how one may be able to handle ghosting (and possibly direct mounts, although I'd still prefer to do it via dentry traps) cleanly: by putting a read_link method on the autofs leaf directories and push a lot of the lookup there. That means lstat() will return the "ghost", as if it had been a symlink, and thus GUI tools and ls -l will be happy, but unlike a real symlink, tools like ls -l will not then try to look at the "real" directory behind it. Thus all is good. I was a bit uncertain if this could actually be done without causing infinite recursion, but some initial experiments seems to make it work. With this, I might be able to do without dentry traps for autofs 5, although I would still prefer to have them, for the sheer reason that it might otherwise require a plain preposterous number of superblocks (mounts.) The reason for this is that any time an automounted filesystem is on top of another mounted filesystem, as in the case of the following key: foo / foosrv:/export/root /bar foosrv:/export/bar ... it is functionally equivalent to foo/bar being a direct mount in order for everything to be done cleanly. Similarly, "scaffolding" directories could be done using a ramfs, but now we're up to a total number of two superblocks per submount point (one for the "direct mount", one for the mount itself), plus one for the ramfs. The ramfs could be eliminated by making the autofs more ramfs-like, which is pretty much a no-brainer anyway... the current autofs replicates way more code than it needs to.

However, I certainly can see the use for ghosting -- and despite what people seem to think, it's not for lack of conviction that I have been sceptical, but purely for technical reasons.

You have to build the package. If an RH system, cd into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run rpm -bb autofs.spec.. and please read up on how rpms work. Also, install sudo and start using that.

By "domain", do you mean NIS domain or DNS domain? When you get "no such file or directory", are the fileservers still mounted, or have they been timed out? When you say "after a while", do you mean that a directory which was previously working stops working, or do you mean that some directories just don't work? When a directory doesn't work, are there other directories from the same server which do work? What kernel version are you running?

I am rather baffled! I am using Slackware 8.1/9.0 and have been setting up autofs with the --timeout option. The syntax for the automount command should be: automount --timeout 60 /mnt/whatever file /etc/auto.whatever The /etc/auto.master file would contain the line: /mnt/whatever /etc/auto.whatever --timeout 60 (according to any documentation that I can find). However, the startup script grabbed from Slackware - it is, as far as I can see, just a pared down version of the "standard" one for init.d systems - will not put the timeout option in the correct place. Options just get the "-" lopped off and are then stuck on the end of the line, as if they were options for mounting. In itself this is no problem, I can write my own script. But what puzzles me is that this doesn't cause problems for lots of people. Are there different versions of things floating about with different properties?

Actually automount produces really a lot of debugging messages. The easiest solution is to suppress these messages in /etc/syslog.conf (at least the version of sysklogd shipped with Debian logs all debugging messages by default). Another solution is to add an option like `--nodebug' to automount(8), which will suppress all messages with priority LOG_DEBUG. (I think the default should be to log debugging messages, therefore `--nodebug' instead of `--debug'.) The advantage of the first solution is that you can enable and disable debugging messages just by editing /etc/syslog.conf and restarting sysklogd. You don't need to restart the automounter. The disadvantage is that /etc/syslog.conf is rather complicated to be understood (by normal users). The advantage of an additional option is that it's easier to disable or enable debugging messages (just adding or removing this option and restarting automount(8)). But the disadvantage is that you need to restart automount(8). What do you think about adding the option `--nodebug'? I could provide a patch.

I think this is the feature you're looking for. So it is up to mount to support it. But you can implement it by using Executable Maps. See also autofs(5).

Most other daemons output debug information only when requested via the command line (mostly "-d" switch). It would be good if autofs would adhere to this too.

I wanted to know whether it supports failover (like in Solaris). Suppose I have the same file system replicated on 2 servers. If the server (from which the FS is mounted on the client) becomes unavailable, will automount support mounting of the replicated file system from the other server?

Is this new system automounting directories from another machine, or simply making available directories it has to remote machines? If it's the later, then you don't need to have autofs or automounter running on this machine, only on the remote machines. If it's the former, then I'm wasting your time as I'm not sure how this works in RedHat. I do know that on a system I've set up, I accidently installed the autofs on when it wasn't required, this forced any mounted directories which were called out in my autofs files to be controlled by autofs rather then the system itself, causing some strange lock-ups. -- S.Toms - smotrs at mindspring.com - www.mindspring.com/~smotrs SuSE Linux v8.1+ - Kernel 2.4.19-4GB Norman Macaraeg wrote: > I seem to have a problem with Redhat Linux 8.0 running on Dell 2650's > with dual 2.6GHz CPU's and 2GB's of RAM.

This may not be immediately relevant, but I've had problems with Linux's NFS client code as well. In my case, the NFS server is running OpenBSD, and it had "scrub in all" in the pf.conf rules. Linux 2.4.x with X running seems to send out NFS packets that get eaten by the packet scrubber, so I had to disable the "scrub in all" rule to make Linux 2.4.x's NFS client work. So I'm wondering if your problem is actually caused by autofs, or whether it's something in the NFS client code. If you mount the NFS file systems manually (without autofs), do you get the same results? _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs From autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Tue May 13 08:16:00 2003 Return-Path: Received: from hera.kernel.org (hera.kernel.org [63.209.29.2]) by Mail.Linux-Consulting.com (8.12.9/8.12.9/check_local-5) with ESMTP id h4DFDJ7d001853 for ; Tue, 13 May 2003 08:16:00 -0700 Received: from hera.kernel.org (mailman@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h4DF4m4e006005; Tue, 13 May 2003 08:07:46 -0700 Received: from HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE (HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE [137.248.3.16]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h4DF4B4c005644 for ; Tue, 13 May 2003 08:04:46 -0700 Received: from pcrz175.hrz.uni-marburg.de (pcrz175.HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE [137.248.3.134]) by HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE (8.12.8p1/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h4DF3w9T030788 for ; Tue, 13 May 2003 17:03:58 +0200 Received: from hrz.uni-marburg.de (localhost [127.0.0.1]) h4DF3w2V021673 for ; Tue, 13 May 2003 17:03:58 +0200 Message-Id: <200305131503.h4DF3w2V021673@pcrz175.hrz.uni-marburg.de> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 (debian 2.5-1) with nmh-1.0.4+dev To: autofs@linux.kernel.org From: "Thomas Gebhardt" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 17:03:58 +0200 X-MailScanner-Information: see http://www.uni-marburg.de/hrz/services/spamcheck/ X-MailScanner: Found to be clean Subject: [autofs] kernel automounter does not unmount X-BeenThere: autofs@linux.kernel.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussion list for the autofs automounter for Linux List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Errors-To: autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Status: O X-Status: Hi, several times I got the problem that a huge amount of home directories are mounted by the kernel automounter # df | wc -l 1647 Some directories are mounted several times.

On all my Suns and RH8 systems the automount line in the /etc/nsswitch.conf reads: automount: files nis On some of the Suns, in the /etc/auto_master file, there is the following line: +auto.master which directs them to use the yp auto.master automount map. On some of my other Suns, in the /etc/auto_master file, there is the following line: +auto_master_other which directs them to use the yp auto_master_other automount map. The yp auto.master map is different from the auto_master_other map. Here is my question: even though I put nothing but +auto_master_other in my RH8 /etc/auto.master files, the /etc/init.d/autofs script insists on ALSO loading the yp auto.master file IN ADDITION TO what it loaded by evaluating the /etc/auto.master file. Has anyone else already worked around wanting to use a yp master map with a name other than "auto.master"? BTW, I *have* tried changing the automount settings in the nsswitch.conf file - which is NOT used the same way Sun Solaris uses it - and this didn't do what I needed, either. Or do I need to hack the autofs script myself? If I do change the autofs script, how do I commit my changes so others can use them?

I was tinkering with autofs yesterday, and recognized, that autofs would pass a "--timeout60" option to the mount command. After reading a bit more in your HOWTO i found out that it had to be "--timeout=60". The only hint i got were the mount options, but in the examples "--timeout 60" was used, and so I tried it with "-t60" and "--timeout60" first... However not using the "=" is simply wrong, and doesn't work at all... I recommend correcting the example for /etc/auto.master thx in advance!

Ian pointed out that the "+map_name" yp map inclusion syntax is not supported in Linux (yet). If you are used to Sun's way, you know what this means - if not, it simply means whenever the automounter sees "+map_name" in a map file, it does a "ypcat -k map_name" and stuffs the output of that in place of the +map_name token. The neat solution to my problem was to: 1. ypcat -k auto_master_foo > /etc/auto.master on each Linux host. This takes the content of the auto_master_foo map and puts it in the auto.master file directly. 2. Edit each mount line in /etc/auto.master to tell it to use the yp map: /mnt_pt map_name -opt1,opt2 becomes: /mnt_pt yp:map_name -opt1,opt2 for each line in /etc/auto.master. And don't forget to comment out the /net and /- mount points you may have if you are coming from a Sun environment - the Linux automounter doesn't (yet) support the -hosts map or direct mounts. See the README file in the source tarball for more info. And you might want to reformat the file a little to improve readability, while you're editing it. On the other hand you could use sed or something to automate this for future use, in case you want to use cron to keep this in sync with yp. 3. Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to make the automounts line use files ONLY: automounts: files This only affects where the /etc/init.d/autofs initially looks for maps: it doesn't affect the automounter's ability to refer to yp maps, which is what we are telling it to do by pre-pending "yp:" on the front of all the map names in the auto.master file. Here is another tip I learned the hard way: Suse's /etc/init.d/autofs treats the /etc/auto.master file a little differently: mount lines need to be of the form: /mnt_pt yp map_name -opt1,opt2 Note the space (" ") char between the "yp" and the map_name, instead of the RH-style colon (":") char. I leave the consequences of NOT making this change and discovering what happens as an exercise for the reader. Hint: it's not catastrophic, it just doesn't work. Try doing an "/etc/init.d/autofs status" after configuring it this way for big laffs. Anyway, this adventure is over for now. I hope this saves someone else a little grief down the road. best regards, --johnT John McKowen Taylor, Jr. Cadence Design Systems, Inc. 200 Regency Forest Dr. Cary, NC 27511 USA +1 919 481 6835 _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs From autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Fri May 23 13:55:58 2003 Return-Path: Received: from hera.kernel.org (hera.kernel.org [63.209.29.2]) by Mail.Linux-Consulting.com (8.12.9/8.12.9/check_local-5) with ESMTP id h4NKr2pw026575 for ; Fri, 23 May 2003 13:55:58 -0700 Received: from hera.kernel.org (mailman@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h4NKmQKH024261; Fri, 23 May 2003 13:49:24 -0700 Received: from mail0.lsil.com (mail0.lsil.com [147.145.40.20]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h48Gr24c011898 for ; Thu, 8 May 2003 09:53:42 -0700 Received: from mhbs.lsil.com (mhbs.lsil.com [147.145.31.100]) by mail0.lsil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h48EnUgk020922 for ; Thu, 8 May 2003 09:52:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from vpmail.lsil.com by mhbs.lsil.com with ESMTP; Thu, 8 May 2003 09:52:44 -0700 Received: from useng27.lsil.com (useng27.lsil.com [147.145.106.36]) by vpmail.lsil.com (8.11.6+Sun/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h48Gqij07399; Thu, 8 May 2003 09:52:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from useng27 (useng27 [147.145.106.36]) by useng27.lsil.com (8.11.6+Sun/8.11.6) with SMTP id h48GqhB19489; Thu, 8 May 2003 09:52:43 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <200305081652.h48GqhB19489@useng27.lsil.com> Date: Thu, 8 May 2003 09:52:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Norman Macaraeg Subject: RE: [autofs] automount problem?

On all my Suns and RH8 systems the automount line in the /etc/nsswitch.conf reads: automount: files nis On some of the Suns, in the /etc/auto_master file, there is the following line: +auto.master which directs them to use the yp auto.master automount map. On some of my other Suns, in the /etc/auto_master file, there is the following line: +auto_master_other which directs them to use the yp auto_master_other automount map. The yp auto.master map is different from the auto_master_other map. Here is my question: even though I put nothing but +auto_master_other in my RH8 /etc/auto.master files, the /etc/init.d/autofs script insists on ALSO loading the yp auto.master file IN ADDITION TO what it loaded by evaluating the /etc/auto.master file. Has anyone else already worked around wanting to use a yp master map with a name other than "auto.master"? BTW, I *have* tried changing the automount settings in the nsswitch.conf file - which is NOT used the same way Sun Solaris uses it - and this didn't do what I needed, either. Or do I need to hack the autofs script myself? If I do change the autofs script, how do I commit my changes so others can use them?

When we have to form list of mountpoints from mtab and fstab, we compare all records with path. Path contains '//' and all requests to strcmp fails. First solution is test ap.path in main() for '/' at end and delete it. I've looked at all places where we use ap.path in automount.c and think that this solution will be OK. 2) Second problem is smbfs user space daemon that support connections. As I understand it pereodicaly calls SMB_IOC_NEWCONN and in result we have call of udate_usage on the mount point. Mount point become allways in use and never expire. In the result of two described problems I have autofs nodes which never expire and automount daemon that I can't stop with script.

When applying the patch to standard 2.4.18 kernel, the file fs/autofs4/root.c doesn't get properly patched.

I got autofs and LDAP to work but I could not figure out how to pass options to autofs via LDAP. As a result I gave up. If anyone knows how to pass options to autofs like --timeout I would appreciate a pointer. There is a link in the autofs man page that is supposed to have additional info but it was broken when I tried it and google was no help. -- ......Tom Registered Linux User #14522 http://counter.li.org tdiehl@rogueind.com My current SpamTrap mtd123@rogueind.com _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs From autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Wed Jun 25 07:27:50 2003 Return-Path: Received: from hera.kernel.org (hera.kernel.org [63.209.29.2]) by Mail.Linux-Consulting.com (8.12.9/8.12.9/check_local-5) with ESMTP id h5PEQPbh001769 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:27:50 -0700 Received: from hera.kernel.org (mailman@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h5PEJRKH013612; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:20:43 -0700 Received: from motgate5.mot.com (motgate5.mot.com [144.189.100.105]) by hera.kernel.org (8.12.8/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h5PEIpKF013366 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:19:23 -0700 Received: from il06exr06.mot.com (il06exr06.mot.com [129.188.137.136]) by motgate5.mot.com (Motorola/Motgate5) with ESMTP id h5PEIoHK022198 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:18:50 -0700 (MST) Received: from az33exm27.corp.mot.com (az33exm27.corp.mot.com [10.64.65.159]) by il06exr06.mot.com (Motorola/il06exr06) with ESMTP id h5PEImMT002177 for ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 09:18:48 -0500 Received: by az33exm27.corp.mot.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.2) id ; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:18:47 -0700 Message-ID: <6728517EECE7D511981B00D0B782903104FC12BE@az33exm27.corp.mot.com> From: Morris Duane-rat924 To: "'Ian Kent'" , autofs@linux.kernel.org Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 07:18:31 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.2) Content-Type: text/plain Subject: [autofs] autofs 4 and Redhat 7.3 X-BeenThere: autofs@linux.kernel.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussion list for the autofs automounter for Linux List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Errors-To: autofs-bounces@linux.kernel.org Status: O X-Status: Ian, You said you where working on patches which fixed things like auto.direct and much more.

There is some LDAP support present in autofs already. The standard RedHat rpm patches to autofs v3 allow LDAP master maps and allow use of the most common 2 schema in use for LDAP maps . autofs as distributed only knows about the 'automount' schema and not the NIS schema. These LDAP patches look like they could be applied to autofs4 without much pain. In fact I like the rc script patch so much I plan on mergeing it into my patch as part of reworking LDAP. I have had a brief look at the LDAP requirements for adding ghosting functionality but will not be doing anything on it until the current cleanup patches are stable. This is going well due to help from a couple of list members and if there are no suprises will be done within a week. So bottom line is ghosted LDAP maps are not being worked on yet and I cannot give you an estimate of how long it will take to complete at this time.

I'm seeing similar behavior, but I can get them to umount by hand. We have a huge direct map here that we're mounting via a program that uses awk to get matches from the map, mount if one match is found, or mount a submount process if multiple matches are found. Recently I've noticed more hosts with a ton of mounts that aren't in use (and the load on the host always rises to whatever the number of cpus is). I run a little script that does a mount -t nfs, does a quick fuser, and if not in use, umounts it... and they free up with the load immediately dropping down. I also then see a bunch of messages like: Jul 22 15:16:23 shockley automount[5175]: automount.c:767: assertion failed: ap.state == ST_READY Jul 22 15:16:23 shockley automount[27731]: expired /usr/local/projects/vlsi/ Jul 22 15:16:23 shockley automount[5175]: shutting down, path = /usr/local/projects/vlsi/ Jul 22 15:16:23 shockley automount[12691]: automount.c:767: assertion failed: ap.state == ST_READY but everything seems to be ok after about a minute as all the remaining submount processes clean themselves up and stop. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.miguelito.org Homer: "Wow! $350?!?

As far as the kernel module is concerned there is an autofs4 module. Last time this was raised on the list HPA distanced himself from this code as he has some concerns about it's implementation. Please correct me if I am wrong Peter. I have modified the kernel code that is associated with autofs 4 only while striving to maintain compatability with v3 and the existing v4 user space daemons. This product is imtimately related to its kernel module and so anyone wanting to maintain the daemon code should have the oppertunity to maintain the corresponding kernel module as well. > > Anyway, more activity on this front would be very welcome, IMHO.

This is necessary as I found autofs4 interacting with VFS (dcache and vfsmount) in a way no other file system does. The problem is with is_tree_busy() routine where we check and depend on dentry ref count to find busy dentries. Though it is done under dcache_lock but I don't think taking dcache_lock will guarantee consistent reference count for dentries. We have other people doing dget() or dput() without taking dcache_lock. Further, introduction of RCU based dcache lookup in 2.5.61 it is more susceptible to races. So, I hope you will look into this problem also. Thanks Maneesh -- Maneesh Soni IBM Linux Technology Center, IBM India Software Lab, Bangalore.

You have a literal "Ctrl-E" (^E) character where you're supposed to have a backquote (`) and a lowercase e. Also, that backslash (\) was supposed to be at the end of a line. And the closing backquote was supposed to be after the -c1. Download the autofs-4.0.0pre10 source and go into the "samples" directory. The rc.autofs script there should give you a much better idea what things should look like.

I am still testing/debugging my latest changes. I thought I was done (several times now) but I am now in the hard to find and fix phase. I would be happy to send you a copy of the patches if you think you would find them useful and understand that they are not quite ready for release. Maybe you could do a little testing in your environment to see what other bugs can be driven out. The implementation with both the daemon and kernel module patch includes: 1) Understands direct mount maps in file, NIS and LDAP repositories. In fact it breaks up the direct map into separate top level directory submounts that belong to the daemon that owns the map. 2) LDAP understands the usual automountMap type schema as well as the nisMap schema. Basically I merged the Redhat autofs v3 patches and recast the LDAP bits into my direct map framework. 3) ghosting of the indirect and direct map autofs filesystem. This is essentially browseable automount directories with late mounting. In theory this probably should not work as well as it actually does in practice. I have in fact merged most of the Redhat v3 (from the source rpm) patches not only the LDAP patch. I hope that you guys and the folks that created them are not unhappy with that. There is still some more work to do on the init script but I think the Redhat one is better than the original. Doesn't sound like much but I can assure you it was a lot of work on and of over that last 2 years. I am not in a position to take on merging of any other patches until I am happy with the quality/stability of my latest changes but I am certainly interested. > > Do you maintain a CVS tree or similar repository?

I have been thinking I will need to setup a CVS repository to support the maintenance effort but have not done anything about it yet. But making the patched source available on a public hosting site like Sourceforge would be much better. Yes I would appreciate that but lets wait until I am happy with the current changes.

Primarily, that means making sure a Linux box can come up inside a Solaris environment without barfing, without gross workarounds, and with usable functionality. Further, we have the goal of passing Sun's autofs test suites. :) We are building up our laundry list of problems, and trying to devise our plan for how they can all be worked out. It's great to see activity on a lot of the same fronts, here. Direct mounts, nested mounts, proper NIS and LDAP and nsswitch. These are just a few of the items we're looking at. We're still waiting for Sun to clear us on releasing what we've been working on, but as soon as that goes through, you'll be hearing a lot more from us.

I have been using the autofs4 pre10 release for several months while testing other things, and now we want to make this more real. We need direct maps and would love the browsing (users are used to that on existing Solaris 2.8 Suns). I am running RH 7.3 with the 2.4.20-19.7 kernel updates. Ian's patches include a kernel patch. These are probably some stupid questions: * what functionality do the kernel patches provide and will the patches to the automounter work without the kernel patches? (I ask because we would like to avoid such things if we can, and other than browsing, it seems to work without them.) * do you have a set of patches for 2.4.20? (I tried applying the supplied patch and only then noticed Ian's note to the kernel mailing list about 2.4.19+ breakage) Also, I would be happy to do some testing for you, since I have to do it anyway before releasing anything to production use. We use both Suns and NetApp Filers as the file servers. We have both indirect and multiple direct maps. The direct maps can be 3 levels deep (e.g. /a/b/[c,d,e]). All maps are served by NIS. We have samba running currently on Solaris that serve files from automounted file systems. We think we would like to move this service to Linux. And we make fair use of the /net façade. Mostly we run EDA applications. We have pretty much decided to use RedHat ES/AS (aka 7.3) on the servers. We don't have any **official** Linux workstations - that's for later. And I would vote to make Ian the maintainer! Thanks in advance for the help.
