Severity: normal
I'm trying to make DFS-replicated CIFS file shares available. In
auto.master I have:
/dfs file:/etc/auto.dfs browse
and in auto.dfs I have:
/dfs/HD -fstype=cifs,sec=krb5i,cruid=$UID,multiuser
://server1.domain.example/HD ://server2.domain.example/HD
but autofs interprets the entire server list as a single location:
Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS: Attempting to mount
//server1.domain.example/HD ://server2.domain.example/HD
Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME:
\\server1.domain.example\HD :
Jul 06 16:31:14 kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2
autofs(5) states:
A mount location can specify multiple hosts for a location,
portentially with a different export path for the same file system.
Historically these different locations are read- only and provide
the same replicated file system.
and gives the example of:
Multiple replicated hosts, different (potentially) paths:
<path> host1:/path/pathA host2:/path/pathB
which I think is the closest matching syntax. But I guess to automount,
CIFS shares don't have a host element, and the server name is given as
the first element to the path, which maybe means that this syntax is
only available for NFS entries...
