Debian 5.0, autofs 4.1.4, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 I may be overlooking some documentation, but I couldn't find out how to do this. Occasionally one of our NFS servers adds a new entry to its /etc/exports file, and we'd like the clients to be able to use it.
The clients look like: # grep -v '^#' /etc/auto.master /net /etc/auto.net At some point in the past, autofs will have contacted this host and somehow "cached" the fact that it was sharing /home, /data, etc. Now I've added /opt to the exports file. But when I do "ls /net/servername" I still only see home and data, not opt. Rebooting the client works -- after a reboot, I can see home, data and opt. I'm trying to find a way to get autofs to reload the server's list of shared file systems without totally rebooting the client. If I issue a "/etc/init.d/autofs reload" command, I get a few normal-looking messages, but no change in the list of results. If I try "/etc/init.d/autofs restart" it tell me it cannot stop the /net daemon, and cannot start a new one. Manually attempting "kill PID" or "kill -HUP PID" has no visible effect. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
