Red Hat

When i export the directory where the data really is, i can specify which hosts can mount it. On the remote server i create a mount point directory and then mount it to the source servers directory (that has the data).
I need to run my script on Server X , i would login there and type in the following command to get to the directory, where my script resides (Server Y)…

Code:

  # cd /net/Server_Y/opt/EHS/scripts
  -bash: cd: /net/Server_Y/opt/EHS/scripts: No such file or directory

As you can see the auto mount isn’t working correctly.


Any help is appreciated!!

Automounter on RedHat is autofs.
How is its status?

Code:

service autofs status

Hello - It says the Automount is running...

Ensure that /etc/auto.master has

Code:

/net -hosts

and /etc/nsswitch.conf has

Code:

automount:  files

(Something else can follow after the files)
Restart automounter with

Code:

service autofs restart

Still not working?
Can you ping Server_Y?
Can you list its NFS exports with

Code:

showmount -e Server_Y

?

Hello - So ensured
/net -hosts
and /etc/nsswitch.conf has

Code:
automount: files
So this is what i see in the my current system.

[root@ussdp137 etc]# showmount -e ussdp137
Export list for ussdp137:
/opt/EHS/ks uss*
/opt/EHS/etc uss*
/opt/EHS/scripts uss*
[root@ussdp137 etc]#

Thanks

Does

Code:

cd /net/ussdp137/

work?
If yes, check the NFS server's /etc/exports.
Your Server_X must be granted.
Further, as root you can try a manual NFS mount:

Code:

mount ussdp137:/opt/EHS /mnt

If you get "permission denied by server" then it's clear.
(And if it works, do not forget to umount /mnt.)

Okey i ran the mount process.

[root@ussedb55 /]# mount ussdp137:/opt/EHS/scripts /tmp/mnt/
mount: can't get address for ussdp137

This is the error iam getting...So guess the first thing was the Auto mounter (autofs) is not working...now the Manual is a dud!

anything i can try, next?

Okey got it...i mounted manually with fully hostname.

mount ussdp137.xxxx.com:/opt/EHS/scripts /tmp/mnt/

So all the servers are okey, but just why this one, where i have to give a fully qualified name? - something is wrong with this server....

So when i mounted manually, i gave fully qualified server name(ex. ussdp137.xxxx.com) instead before without the .com.

Thanks
