| Post subject: | Autofs timeout on external usb ext2 drive |
I am running v5c7 on a master BE and a slave FE. Since they connect via a 802.11g wireless I have also set up an autofs usb external drive (ext2 formatted) so I can do large multiGig file transfers (super sneakernet). Everything works fine with plugging in my drive. I can access to my hearts content. The problem is the timeout parameter in the /etc/auto.master does not work. I have to /etc/init.d/autofs stop, then unplug, then /etc/init.d/autofs restart to get rid of the mount. auto.master : # KNOPPIX automounts for floppy and cdrom(s), see knoppix-autoconfig /mnt/auto /etc/auto.mnt --timeout=2 /var/autofs/usb /etc/auto.usb --timeout=2 /mnt/auto /etc/automount.sh --timeout=2 auto.usb : sda -fstype=auto,atime :/dev/sda1 sdb -fstype=vfat,uid=1002,gid=1002,umask=002,noatime :/dev/sdb1 Shouldn't the drive dismount after 2 secs of inactivity, then remount on the next access ? I've seen refs on the web that the timeout did not work for some versions of autofs. Is the v5c7 version of autofs one of them. Thanks |

Turns out it's Samba screwing up the autofs timeout. It does eventually umount but after minutes not 2 secs. It umount correctly if I stop the samba services. Anyone know if this can be addressed. I've googled myself blue on the issue and can't find anything applicable. Thanks |
