All I need now is to get the automounter working so I can have my home directory back and I'm just about thehre.
A what?! Err, just add it to fstab?
/dev/mapper/<volumegroupname>-<volumename> /mount/point filesystemtype fsoptions dump pass
e.g.
/dev/mapper/main-home /home xfs defaults 0 0
Works fine for us... and we have root on lvm :p (OK - boot isn't on lvm, but hey ;)
Hmmm! :-)
I need some more help here.
I have the default auto.master, auto.misc, auto.net and auto.smb files in /etc (I have compared them with the old ones, they're the same).
My home directory is on a Sun NFS server and should be automounted from there. It's all done by YP/NIS. I have got NIS running now, changing my password locally does change my NIS password.
As far as I can see there's nothing related to the automounter in the old /etc/fstab file.
I can't find *anything* beyond the "/net -hosts" line in /etc/auto.master that tells my system how/where to find my home directory. It's all cloak and dagger stuff as far as I'm concerned.
Automount is running OK, if I cd explicitly to automounted directories under /net they do appear OK. I.e. if I do "cd /net/ipfs2/home1/chris" then the directory automagically appears. What I don't understand is what makes "cd /home/chris" somehow map to /net/ipfs2/home1/chris.
Help!!
