Automount

[Robert Davison]

I've read various documents on amd, but am having issues...
  
My fstab for the drives (there is two drives contained within a Sun StorEdge S1) reads:

/dev/da0s1b      none   swap   sw               0   0
/dev/da0s1d      /s         none   rw,noauto   0   0
/dev/da1s1b      none   swap   sw               0   0   
/dev/da1s2d      /t         none   rw,noauto   0   0

I've mkdir -p both /s and /t as mount points

I've then put the following lines into /etc/amd.map

localhost/s         type:=program:fs:=/s;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /s";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /s"

localhost/t         type:=program:fs:=/t;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /t";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /t"

And finaly I've added the following to ,y /etc/rc.conf

portmap_enable="YES"
amd_enable="YES"
amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host/etc/amd.map"

when i reboot the server the external drives are not mounted, but I do get a .snap file now in my / if this means anything ?

Am I missing a step here, or the point totally ??

To start with, yes. If you don't use "noauto", then the disk *has* to
be there at boot.

You might want to put in some devfs rules to mount the disks when they
show up. Or an automounter.
