Hi all - Quick question I couldn't find an answer to in the archives.
Servers A and B store user homes, Server C is a web server that
automounts those homes on boot and makes available user Sites
folders through apache. If either A or B is rebooted and C is not,
those Site folders become inaccessible, since the mount is broken.
The question is, is there a command I can run that will re-
initiate the same mount connection that occurs at boot time, so I
can restore the mounts on C without restarting the server? I see
that I can build map files and pass them to the automount command.,
but am thinking there must be an easier way - a command that will
reproduce whatever mount process is normally run during boot.
I'd like to set up some kind of automated job to check for the
mounts and re-mount the broken connections if necessary.
Thanks,
Scot
Hello,
Yes, this is possible. The high level view: On server C, unmount all
automounted filesystems, kill all automount processes, restart the
two automount processes, make the symlink in /N/S.
The low-level view:
On server C, umount anything that was automounted, except for the two
automount mounts. Basically, everything returned by the following:
mount | grep "automounted" | egrep -v '^automount'
Automount is started at boot time by the NFS startup item. This item
also handles NFS services, so simply re-executing this startup item
may affect more than just the automounts if you are also an NFS server.
Hope this helps,
-Andre
