The Automounter is a service (consisting of automount/autofs), to mount file systems automatically. Mounting is performed when accessing the configured directories. Unmounting is performed by default after 5 sec. of inactivity (depending on the used image). On Dreamboxes the service is used to access network shares. The shares can be accessed over cifs and/or nfs.

After mounting the share it's possible to play supported movies, music and images. The network shares can be on Dreamboxes, Linux computers, Macs, NAS and Windows computers.

Advantage of the automounter: no scripts, editing of the fstab or boot settings are required.

Functionality Automounter

Automounter

For the preamble Automount Mounter, two files are important, autofs and automount. Autofs defines the mount points using the auto.master file. Afterwards the mounting is performed by automount.

Goal of the article

  • Learn the configuration of the Auto Mounter

Prerequisites

  • Knowing the Blue Panel (Automount - Editor) and the remote control
  • Editing the configuration file with an unix compatible editor

Configuring the Automounter

There are 3 ways to configure the automounter.

  • The Automount Editor of the BluePanel
  • Or editing the configuration file
  • With the GP3 Plugin and the installed Netscan Plugin, Samba and NFS shares can be found and passed to the Automount Editor.

Configuration via Automount Editor

The Automount Editor is available in Enigma since Gemini Project 1.9 and in Enigma2 since Gemini Project 3.2 in the Blue Panel.

  • With Enigma (since version 4.5) the Automount-Editor can be found in the Blue Panel under Extras / Settings => Automount
  • With Enigma2 (since version 4.1) under Settings => Automount Editor
  • With the installed GP3 Plugin under Blue Panel => Settings => Automount Editor
After configuring the mount point, the box or the autofs Daemon needs to be restarted. When using the Automount Editor of the GP3 Plugin, this is no longer required. After closing the editor, autofs is restarted automatically.

Accessing the mount point

The access of the created mount point depends on the Gemini version. The easiest way is to use the File Mode (Enigma), or the File Manager (Enigma2).

  • For Enigma boxes the mount point can be found in the directory /automount.
  • For Enigma2 up to GP version 3.8 the mount point is in /automount. From version 3.9 till 4.1 it can be found in /autofs. And from GP2 4.2 until GP3.2 in /media/net.
  • Since Gemini Project 3.3 for OE 2.2 the mount points are in /media/network.

Configuration via configuration file

The configuration file of the automounter for CVS Boxes can be found in /var/etc and for OE Boxes in /etc (CVS/OE Boxes see here). Here you can find also the different files depending on the image version. The syntax remained the same.

  • With Enigma the file name is automount.conf. The configuration is possible since Gemini Project 3.1.
  • With Enigma2 the file name is automount.conf for Gemini Project 1.8 - 3.8. Since version 3.9 - 4.1 the file name is auto.hotplug. And from version 4.2 until GP 3.2the name is auto.network.
  • Since Gemini Project 3.3 for OE 2.2 the file name is auto.gemini.
The permissions with OE 2.0 / OE 2.2 images should be 644. The file shouldn't be executable! You can change the permission with the command chmod 644 /etc/auto.network.
After the creation of a mount point, the Box or the autofs daemon should be restarted.

Synopsis

automount [options] [master_map]

Description

The automount program is used to manage mount points for autofs, the inlined Linux automounter. automount works by reading theauto.master(5) map and sets up mount points for each entry in the master map allowing them to be automatically mounted when accessed. The file systemsare then automatically umounted after a period of inactivity.

Options

-h, --help

-r, --random-multimount-selection
Enables the use of ramdom selection when choosing a host from a list of replicated servers.
-m, --dumpmaps
Dump configured automounter maps, then exit.
-O, --global-options
Allows the specification of global mount options used for all master map entries. These options will either replace or be appened to options given in amaster map entry depending on the APPEND_OPTIONS configuration setting.
-V, --version
Display the version number, then exit.
-l, --set-log-priority priority path [path,.]
Set the daemon log priority to the specified value. Valid values include the numbers 0-7, or the strings emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, ordebug. Log level debug will log everything, log levels info, warn (or warning), or notice with enable the daemon verbose logging. Any other level will setbasic logging. Note that enabling debug or verbose logging in the autofs global configuration will override dynamic log level changes. For example, if verboselogging is set in the configuration then attempting to set logging to basic logging, by using alert, crit, err or emerg won't stop the verbose logging.However, setting logging to debug will lead to everything (debug logging) being logged witch can then also be disabled, returning the daemon to verboselogging. This option can be specified to change the logging priority of an already running automount process.
The path argument corresponds to the automounted path name as specified in the master map.
-C, --dont-check-daemon
Don't check if the daemon is currently running (see NOTES).
-F, --force
Force an unlink umount of existing mounts under autofs managed mount points during startup. This can cause problems for processes with working directorieswithin these mounts (see NOTES).

Arguments

automount takes one optional argument, the name of the master map to use.
