Source: autofs Version: 5.1.6-2 Severity: normal I'm trying to make DFS-replicated CIFS file shares available. In auto.master I have:
/dfs file:/etc/auto.dfs browse and in auto.dfs I have: /dfs/HD -fstype=cifs,sec=krb5i,cruid=$UID,multiuser ://server1.domain.example/HD ://server2.domain.example/HD but autofs interprets the entire server list as a single location: Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS: Attempting to mount //server1.domain.example/HD ://server2.domain.example/HD Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME: \\server1.domain.example\HD : Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2 autofs(5) states: A mount location can specify multiple hosts for a location, portentially with a different export path for the same file system. Historically these different locations are read- only and provide the same replicated file system. and gives the example of: Multiple replicated hosts, different (potentially) paths: <path> host1:/path/pathA host2:/path/pathB which I think is the closest matching syntax. But I guess to automount, CIFS shares don't have a host element, and the server name is given as the first element to the path, which maybe means that this syntax is only available for NFS entries... -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (535, 'stable-updates'), (535, 'stable'), (520, 'testing'), (510, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-8-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
