[PVE-User] autofs cifs mounts in proxmox - any success?

[Fred Supinski]

Hi,

I have been having a few issues getting autofs to mount samba shares in
proxmox.

Has anyone had any successes?

I originally followed the tutorial at
http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs

The following happens when I try to access the share:
vm0:/etc# cd /cifs/10.0.0.40/0.data.vmbk/
-bash: cd: /cifs/10.0.0.40/0.data.vmbk/: No such file or directory

This is the tail from the syslog:
vm0:/etc# tail /var/log/syslog
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7593]: lookup(program): lookup for
10.0.0.40 failed
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7593]: failed to mount /cifs/10.0.0.40
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7596]: lookup(program): lookup for
10.0.0.40 failed
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7596]: failed to mount /cifs/10.0.0.40
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7598]: lookup(program): lookup for
10.0.0.40 failed
Dec 22 16:07:33 vm0 automount[7598]: failed to mount /cifs/10.0.0.40

Any help with resolving this is appreciated.

Below you will find additional information which may be relevant.

Thank you,

vm0:/etc# nano auto.master

# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#/misc  /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
#/smb   /etc/auto.smb

#this one was edited to maintain format but hide secrets.
