  • AUTOFS not mounting filesystem

    Posted on

    My autofs says this FS is mounted /Data2, but when I go to the directory, it's empty, not mounted.
    The share and path are correct as I can mount it manually :

    mount -vvv -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/credential.txt,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,uid=0,gid=994 "//boca1/Data/AES/Boca 250/1 Wrksp" /Data2

    My configuration :

    cat etc/redhat-release

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)

    cat installed-rpms |grep autofs

    autofs-5.0.7-56.el7.x86_64

    cat etc/auto.master

    /Data2 /etc/auto.cifs --timeout=60

    cat etc/auto.cifs

    Data2 -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/etc/.cred.txt ://boca1/Data/AES/Boca\040250/1\040Wrksp

    cat sos_commands/systemd/systemctl_list-units_--all |grep autofs

    autofs.service loaded active running Automounts
    filesystems on demand

    cat proc/mounts

    /etc/auto.cifs /Data2 autofs rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=18490,timeout=60,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0

    cd /Data2

    ls -l
    ls -la
    total 4
    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Apr 13 10:57 .
    dr-xr-xr-x. 26 root root 4096 Apr 13 10:57 ..

    Any ideas will be appreciated
