[SOLVED] autofs+sshfs "Directory not found"

mkoco · 06-17-2010, 10:40 PM

Hello all.

Having some troubles with sshfs + autofs. Roughly following this guide here: http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=84

Here is /etc/auto.master:

Code:

/mnt/sshfs /etc/auto.sshfs uid=1000,gid=100, timeout=600, --ghost

/etc/auto.sshfs:

Code:

remote1 -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 -retry=3 :sshfs\#user@remote1.com\:
remote2 -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 -retry=3 :sshfs\#user@remote2.com\:

Both sites authenticate via pubkey when I ssh, or sshfs as normal.

But when I 'cd' to the dirs /mnt/sshfs/remote1 or /mnt/sshfs/remote2, I get this error:

Code:

bash: cd: remote1/: No such file or directory

Kind of stuck, any ideas?

Edit: Also, logs are free of errors.

Which Slackware version?

This is with slackware-current.

Hmm. For some reason or another, the autofs maintainers removed the status command from rc.autofs between 4.1.4 and 5.0.5. Too bad they didn't bother to update the man page.

So, I would go edit /etc/default/autofs by uncommenting the line containing OPTIONS="" (it's almost at the end of the file) and setting the options to "-d"...

Code:

OPTIONS="-d"

...like so to turn on verbose debugging.

I'd then issue an

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.autofs restart

command, attempt to access one of those mount points and see what shows up in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.
