Automount on 12.04

[quirino77]

Hello.

I was using automount for some time. But after i migrate to 12.04 (clean install - 64 bits), my automount stopped working. I had tried changing many things, but no success.

I had read there is a but on autofs with 12.04. Is it true or i am doing something wrong?

My auto.master:
/home/user/Desktop/goflex /etc/goflex.cifs --timeout=120 --ghost

My goflex.cifs:
public -fstype=cifs,ro,noperm,user=userA,pass=A,soft,async ,noatime ://192.168.0.253/goflex home public
personal -fstype=cifs,ro,noperm,user=userA,pass=A,soft,async ,noatime ://192.168.0.253/goflex home personal

Hi ,
you can try this command . Copy-paste from here to you terminal for accuracy.

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount '"true"'

See if problem corrected .
Thanks

Thank's for your help. But didn't work.

Anyway, i get this error (nothing changed with dconf).

Hi ,
Yes. Command is probably wrong. Read here --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2024443

I got the solution.

Firt mistake, my auto.master has:
+auto.master
then i comment this line and the "lookup(file): failed to read included master map auto.master" was gone. Looks like with this line, it search for the file on a NIS.

Second mistake, my goflex.cifs has execute attribute. The autofs do not work this way. I had to chmod -x the file.

Now everything is ok.
Thank's.
