Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS

Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS
OK, so I've set everything up on my client now... The directory structure appears (/mnt/Samba/Dan) when I browse it in Thunar, but Dan seems to be owned by root and I can't right-click and create a new file. EDIT: Nevermind, it's all working now. I tried creating a file from the terminal and that wo...

Oh well, that's embarassing! I thought this all had to be done on the server... I'm so sorry!

Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS
No - my server is Debian Wheezy as it needs a non-PAE kernel. My client is Linux Mint 17 XFCE (I think I did mention that in my first post). Does that change things?
Code: Select all
dan@slave:~$ sudo service autofs stop

Ah, my bad - I think this is what you're after: dan@slave:~$ sudo automount -vf Starting automounter version 5.0.7, master map /etc/auto.master using kernel protocol version 5.02 lookup(dir): dir map /etc/auto.master.d missing or not readable lookup(file): failed to read included master map dir:/etc...

Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS
I can't see the mount like that and get the following error message after the last command you gave:

Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS
Why not post the mount command you use to access the server from Mint and we'll use that as an example of how you would mount it using AutoFS? Thanks for the quick reply!

Re: HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS
Hi, Your guides have really helped me - thanks! I have a question about AutoFS. At the top of this guide you mention that you should have a working Samba share. Then, later in the guide, you say that AutoFS will create the mount points needed. I'm a little confused how to proceed from my current sta...
