 Posted: Thu May 27, 2004 7:57 am Post subject: Autofs can't see ext3 partition on external hard drive |
 |
|
For some reason I can't get autofs to see my ext3 partition on my external firewire harddrive. I also have a fat32 partition on the drive which autofs sees just fine. If I manually mount the ext3 partition it's ok. Here is my auto.master file:
| Code: |
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.1 2000/08/08 17:53:33 achim Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
#/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc
#/home /etc/autofs/auto.home
/external /etc/autofs/auto.external --timeout 30
/cd /etc/autofs/auto.cd
|
Here is my auto.external file(which the firewire drive works thru):
| Code: |
firewire1 -fstype=vfat,user,umask=007 :/dev/fwhd1
firewire2 -fstype=auto,user,umask=007 :/dev/fwhd2
usb -fstype=auto,user,umask=007 :/dev/usbhd1
|
I keep getting this:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ls /external/firewire2
ls: /external/firewire2: No such file or directory
|
I 've tried using "auto" in place of "ext3" in my auto.external file with no luck. If it matters I'm using udev but I don't think it has anything to do with this problem. |

Ok, I found the problem but fixing it is another thing:

Basically it doesn't like the 'umask=007' line so I changed it to 'uid=0,gid=100' and I get the same error. All I want is to be able to let me as a regular user read and write to the drive. Do I need to make an fstab entry for it even though I'm using autofs? |

Well I think I found out a couple of things(please correct me if I'm wrong):
1. You can't pass umask, uid, and gid to ext3 or reiserfs partitions
2. Autofs mounts linux partitions as owner root/group root and rwxr--r--(I think that's right)
So I went ahead and chmod my firewire2 directory to rwxrwxr--(My user is a member of the root group, I may change that) and it seems to stick even when I unplug my firewire drive and reboot my computer. |
