You may be interested in the "--ghost" option described in the automount man page. It causes autofs to create the target directory as soon as the daemon starts, but not mount it unless accessed. That way the path would be available all the time as per your assumption. -- Joke template: Three guys walk into a bar. One of them is a wee bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Automount confusion
Your mount point is "/mnt/auto" and your key is "cd", so try using /mnt/auto/cd and you should get results. Yes, I think I misunderstood what was supposed to happen. I thought if I did: ls /mnt/auto it would show the new directory "cd" Except, that doesn't happen because you're not actually accessing the mountpoint. However, if I type: ls /mnt/auto/cd The DVD drive spins mounts the disc and eventually lists the contents of the DVD.

The > /mnt/auto directory is empty. I just happened to be doing the same thing a few minutes ago. The man page for auto.master reads: "For indirect automount maps access to an automounted file system is customarily done using the path scheme: /mountpoint/key/path/file" Your mount point is "/mnt/auto" and your key is "cd", so try using /mnt/auto/cd and you should get results.

[mythtv-users] Automount confusion
Hi, I'm confused about where mythtv can help me here, and what I need to set up myself. I have my mythtv backend and frontend on a FC3 system, and I'd like to view videos from a DVD using mythvideo. I'm trying to use automount, but whatever I do, nothing seems to happen. I have a DVD-RW on hdb, and in /etc/auto.misc I have: cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/hdb in /etc/auto.master I have: /mnt/auto /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 If I start the autofs service, and put in a DVD, nothing happens. The /mnt/auto directory is empty. I can't find any logs for automount. Also, does myth's monitor CD/DVD make any difference? Will it replace the need for automount? Thanks, Jonny ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
