Ubuntu :: Using Autofs To Wake Samba Server Over Ethernet

Sep 20, 2010

I'm trying to set autofs up to wake a samba file server whenever I want to use it. I found this page which apparently demonstrates how to do it with NFS. With a bit of modification I've managed to come up with this:

Code:
/etc/auto.wake
#!/bin/sh
hostsrv=<server ip address>
hostmac=<server mac address>
opts="-fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/etc/samba/.creds"

netcat -w 5 -z $hostsrv 445
status=$?
if [ $status -ne 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/etherwake -i $hostsrv $hostmac
sleep 60
fi

/bin/echo -n "share"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo -n "$opts"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo "://$hostsrv/share"

Now, I've added this line to auto.master

Code:
/server /etc/auto.wake --timeout=60 --ghost
and restarted autofs
Code:
sudo service autofs restart
It wakes up the server successfully but then when I wait 60 seconds and browse the /server directory on the client the share doesn't appear at all.

General :: Automatically Wake Up Notebooks Not On The Ethernet?

Mar 24, 2010

I am looking for an automated backup system and I like bacula. I have 3 Notebooks and a Desktop computer that need regular backup. Now I don't want to let them run all night just to do the backuping, so I was thinking I could use wake-on-lan to have bacula wake up the machines, then do the backups, and shut them down afterswards. While this may work with devices on the ethernet, it won't work with the Notebooks on the wifi. So is it possible to have the Notebooks schedules to automatically wake up from suspend or shutdown ?

Or is it possible to interject a shutdown command if it is after a certain hour and call the bacula director to start the backup now?

Server :: Permissions On Autofs Directory?

May 27, 2011

I'm setting up an automatic mount point on one of my servers. However, for this file I only want certain people (permissions) to access it once it is mounted. I'm figuring I need to place this either on an ACL (via setfacl) or by configuring this in my mount point config file (auto.misc) . Has anyone done this before, restrict use of an auto mounted directory?

Server :: Can't Get Autofs To Work On / Home

Apr 12, 2010

Ok, for some reason I can't get autofs to work on /home. I setup a NIS server and wanted to map the /home on the client to the /home on the server with NFS. But I want to use autofs to mount the users' home directories. BUT I get an error every time. Here is my configuration:Turned off firewall and SELinux on both system to rule those out. It works if I use /tmp/home as the autofs mount, but no with /home.

Server :: Autofs Hostname Lookup Failed: Name Or Service Not Known

Oct 25, 2010

I am running a debian squeeze server, and have autofs 5.0.4 installed. One of my scripts (autofs executable files) is trying to mount some of my LAN hosts.The host mount fine at start, but when unmounted automatically, it will not mount again. (At least unless I wait for 2-3 minutes).The problem is, maybe, that I get these messages in the log:

add_host_addrs: hostname lookup failed: Name or service not known
mount(nfs): no hosts available
failed to mount {myshare}

If I wait a couple of minutes, the share is mounting fine, but that is not an option.The mount command issued by my script is mounting just fine on the command line after all these error messages, but autofs seems to have a problem with it anyhow.I have searched all over the web trying to get a reasonable explanation to any of these messages without luck.I don't think that I can upgrade automount, since this is an embedded device (SheevaPlug), so what is my options?

Server :: Use Autofs To Mount CIFS Share And Busy Files?

Apr 29, 2010

We have a homegrown process that runs on a windows box and produces a csv file. We mount the directory these are output to using autofs/cifs and then process them using a program on our linux database servers.

Is there a way from linux, looking at the cifs share, to tell if the target file is currently in use by a process on the windows box? We are having issues where an incomplete file is being processed occasionally.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mounting NFS Share By Autofs?

Oct 28, 2010

I have a server, with a static IP of 192.168.1.17, that is running Ubuntu lucid sever edition and that exports some shares per NFS. Here is its /etc/exports:

Code:
/media/Share00 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/media/Share01 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/media/Share02 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/media/Share03 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

[Code]....

However, autofs does not work: the /msrv directory appears and disappears when I start and stop autofs; but when I enter "cd /msrv" followed by "cd Share05" in the terminal, I get the "bash: cd: /msrv/Share05: No such file or directory" message after the second command.

Ubuntu :: Share Internet From 1st Ethernet AND To 2nd Ethernet And Wifi Card?

Feb 8, 2011

I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.

DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works)
DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)

The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).

Ubuntu Networking :: Automatically Mount NFS Shares Without Autofs?

Jan 24, 2010

Setup clients on a LAN to automatically mount NFS shares whenever the fileserver is up, without using autofs. Instead a simple bash script which checks if the server is up, and if the shares need to be mounted or unmounted is called by a custom upstart job. For a small office or home network populated with Unix-like computers (e.g., a few Ubuntu desktops or laptops and a fileserver), NFS (Network File System) is a good way to share storage space and centralise the backup of important documents. However, having a fileserver running 24/7 is often overkill for such a setup.

One way to have clients mount NFS shares automatically when the fileserver is turned on, is to use a package called autofs. Unfortunately, there are a few unresolved issues with using autofs in combination with NFS. In my case, when autofs tries to mount NFS shares when the fileserver is turned off, the Gnome desktop, and Nautilus in particular, becomes extremely unresponsive, regardless of the options used. Attempting to mount the share manually from the command line when the server is down however, does return a message of failure quite promptly, without hanging the desktop.

To solve this issue, I wrote a simple bash script that is run through the upstart system. The script simply checks if the fileserver is up, if the shares need mounting or unmounting, and then sleeps for a while before checking again. This works out quite well, so I decided to share this information in case someone else runs into these issues. PrerequisitesThis howto assumes that you have an NFS server set up with shares exported, and one or more clients capable of mounting those shares. For more information on setting up NFS shares and mounting them on a client from the command line, see: SettingUpNFSHowTo.

Clients should be able to ping the server to determine if it is running. Naturally, you need administrator access on the clients to install the script and upstart job outlined below. This script assumes that the directory paths of the shares match the location where they are mounted. In my case, the fileserver has two shares: /media/Storage and /media/Backup. On the clients these shares are mounted on the same paths. If your setup deviates from this, the script needs some modification. The script From the desktop of one the clients, paste the following bash script as a new file in your favourite text editor:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# The hostname or IP-address of the fileserver:
FILESERVER="myfileserver.local"
# Check every X seconds (60 is a good default):

[code]...

Now adjust the FILESERVER variable. In this example, my fileserver is called myfileserver. By default, Ubuntu sets up your networking environment in such a way, that computername.local can be used to reach that computer over the local network, so the network name for myfileserver is myfileserver.local. Of course, you can also use the IP-address of the server. Next, change the MOUNTS variable to match the NFS shares exported by your NFS server. MOUNTS is an array; multiple entries are separated by spaces. So if you have one share exported as /media/MyShare, that line would look like this:

Code:

MOUNTS=( "/media/MyShare" )

An advantage of mounting shares in /media, is that they automatically show up as mounted drives on the user's desktop. Note that this howto assumes that you use the same paths for the share on the server and client side! Save the script to your desktop with an obvious name. In this example we call it mount_my_nfs_shares. Open a terminal and cd to the desktop. Make the script executable by calling:

Code:

chmod +x mount_my_nfs_shares

Next, move it to a place where it can be called by our upstart job, but also from the console to test. A good place to put such custom executables is /usr/local/bin.

Code:

sudo mv mount_my_nfs_shares /usr/local/bin

This script uses the logger command to tell the system's log what it is doing. To test this script, open up two terminals; in one, execute the following so we can monitor the log messages:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/syslog

In the other, simply execute mount_my_nfs_shares. If the script works, your shares should show up on the desktop and the computer:// location in Nautilus. If the fileserver goes down or becomes unreachable, the shares should disappear, and reappear when the fileserver comes back on-line. If this works, move on to the next step. Installing a custom upstart job The next step is to have the clients automatically run the above script when they are booted. We can use upstart for this. Create a new text file, and enter the following:

Code:

# mount_my_nfs_shares - mount NFS shares on fileserver, if present
description"Mount NFS-shares"
start on (filesystem)
respawn

[code]....

How the script works The script enters an eternal loop and keeps checking if it can reach the fileserver once every minute (unless you adjust the INTERVAL variable). If it can reach (ping) the fileserver, it checks if the mounts are already mounted by searching for them (grepping) in the output of mount. If they are not mounted, it tries to mount them. Else, if the server is down, it looks in the output of mount to see if these mounts exist. If they do, it tries to unmount them with the -f flag (useful for unmounting unreachable NFS shares).

Ubuntu :: Autofs(5): Direct Mapping NFS4 Share

Jun 25, 2011

how to make autofa5 work [with NFS4] using [in]direct mapping but no joy so far. Firsty, this the "/etc/exports" on my NFS4 server (CentOS 5.6):

Code:

/media/exPort htpc(ro,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0)
/media/exPort/mMusic htpc(ro,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

and this what I have in there:

Code:

[root@serv03 /]# ls -l /media/exPort/mMusic
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 11 databank lhome 4096 Jun 23 21:25 iTunes
drwxrwxr-x 3 databank lhome 4096 Aug 19 2010 Network Trash Folder
drwxrwxr-x 3 databank lhome 4096 Aug 13 2010 Streaming Radio

[code]....

But it doesn't work - neither it throws any errors in, nor does it mount the share. All I need is to mount "/mMusic" (i.e. /media/exPort/mMusic) as "serv03:/media/nMedia/mMusic" so that tree looks like this:

Code:
.
|-- media
| |-- nMedia
| | |-- mMusic

b) user: backups, password: backups has READ access to this share

c) mount -t cifs //server-01/Share -o username=backups,password=backups /mnt/server-01 WORKS FINE

d) Note that most default Centos services (including all NFS stuff has been disabled on boot, if this makes any difference)

e) /etc/auto.master:

left default configuration including (should these be changed or rem'd out?:)

/misc /etc/auto.misc

f) created /test and /etc/auto.test
#auto.test
#note I tried rw and just r

Ubuntu Networking :: Autofs And Nautilus Replacing Fstab - Browsing?

May 6, 2011

Because of NFS traffic congestion, I am trying to use autofs instead of fstab(NFS) to mount /home and /data directories on our system (from a NFS server). I have it up and running - users can log in and their /home directories work fine. However, when they need to save a file (openoffice or nautilus) they cannot see the directory tree to locate folders for saving. I have tried setting the --ghost option in auto.master, and I have tried commenting the BROWSE_MODE in /etc/default/autofs. But no luck. Using the terminal, I can go a folder and see subfolders using ls -la. They then appear in Nautilus, but later disappear. Since this is a school network, I can't expect teachers and students to use the terminal to save files. They are used to using Nautilus, with our regular NFS mounts.
