All,
I have a SunFire 280R which I'm working on configuring as a "centralized" NFS
server. Initially I want to share the contents of the 280R, utilizing
cachefs as there should not be writes to the filesystem, to approximately 350
Solaris 6/8/9 machines. I can successfully mount the /local filesystem to
all the machines manually. I want the remote mount points to be
/usr/local/$OSREL - where OSREL is either 5.6 5.8 5.9. The following is the
contents of one of the /etc/init.d/autofs scripts:
#!/sbin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 1993-1998 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
# All rights reserved.
#
#ident "@(#)autofs 1.8 01/11/27 SMI"
case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/lib/autofs/automountd -D OSREL=5.9 \
</dev/null >/dev/msglog 2>&1
/usr/sbin/automount &
;;
'stop')
/sbin/umountall -F autofs
/usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 automountd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0
Note that 5.9 is replaced with 5.8/5.6 on the perspective machines as
necessary.
Here are the contents of the /etc/dfs/dfstab on the 280R:
bash-2.05# cat /etc/dfs/dfstab
# Place share(1M) commands here for automatic execution
# on entering init state 3.
#
# Issue the command '/etc/init.d/nfs.server start' to run the NFS
# daemon processes and the share commands, after adding the very
# first entry to this file.
#
# share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource]
# .e.g,
# share -F nfs -o rw=engineering -d "home dirs" /export/home2
#
share -F nfs -o ro -d "Local Directory" /local
The machines are all running on NIS, will be migrated to LDAP later this year,
and in the /var/ypsrc/auto_local file here is what I have:
# cat auto_local
/usr/local -fstype=cachefs,cachedir=/local-cache,backfstype=nfs
newfs:/local/$OSREL
The original contents of the /var/ypsrc/auto_local file were:
# cat auto_local
/usr/local -intr fs1:/local/$OS
With /etc/init.d/autofs originally being:
# Copyright (c) 1993, by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
#
#ident "@(#)autofs 1.4 96/08/20 SMI"
killproc() { # kill the named process(es)
pid=`/usr/bin/ps -e |
/usr/bin/grep $1 |
/usr/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
[ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}
#
# Start/stop automounter
#
case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/lib/autofs/automountd -D OS=sun5\
< /dev/null > /dev/console 2>&1 # start daemon
/usr/sbin/automount & # do mounts
;;
'stop')
/sbin/umountall -F autofs # undo mounts
killproc automoun # kill daemon
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/autofs { start | stop }"
;;
esac
Now the problem is that in the original configuration when users would access
/usr/local they were automatically dropped into /usr/local/sun5.
With the new solution the are not put anywhere...the mount doesn't work at
all! However if I change the location of the mount point from /usr/local to
some fictional place such as /junk users ARE put into /junk/$OSREL as
expected.
This is very odd and am looking for some help in resolving the issue. Of
course I will provide a summary.
TIA!
