First off, I would get to the latest level. The fixes page has changed slightly, so I would archive it well too.

See: http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix51fixes/home.html

For other versions of AIX the vgBookmarks->Downloads->Maintenance is a good area to check every now and then.

I am not sure in which version it changes, but automount is managed via files in the directory /etc/auto - I think since AIX 4.3.3.

I have used it only a little, years ago, so I would have to research it. Perhaps someone else can share their wisdom and experience with us.

problem with automount in Aix

« on: May 02, 2007, 12:09:26 PM »

Dear Frndz,

I have a problem in automount.

please find the config file entry for automount /etc/auto_master

/- /mount.map

I have specified all the mappings in /mount.map

The service is operative.

But when i cd into the directory it is not mounting with the server.

Could you please tell me where i need to look into.

This same configuration works in my entire environment.

Adding to this,

When i type mount it shows all the directories specified in mount.map are in automount ,but actually it is not happening.

I am able to mount the file system outside the auto mount.
But the problem here is once the mount is done manually it automatically diconnects after 5 minutes if the files are not used inside the mount.
so still automount is controlling the mount.

Any other possibilities to fix this..??
