Hi misc, I have a question about amd daemon. I recently rebuilt the main file server for our university lab and decided to use separate ZFS datasets for user home directories. Our main file server runs 11.1-RELEASE-p11. That creates a bit of a problem as each home directory has to be a separate NFS mount. For more detailed description I will refer you to the summary I wrote a while ago
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/nested-children-zfs-datasets-and-nfs-exports-for-recursive-mount.63411/ Long story short unlike few startups for which I originally implemented the setup our shell gateways run OpenBSD (clients over there were RHEL machines and you guessed I used autofs daemon to mount home directories per request instead of /etc/fstab). I am trying to accomplish the same on OpenBSD but I am going nowhere so far. lop1# uname -a OpenBSD lop1.int.autonlab.org 6.3 GENERIC.MP#4 amd64 lop1# more /etc/amd/master /home amd.home lop1# more /etc/amd/amd.home /defaults type:=host;sublink:=${key};opts:=rw,noatime,-a=4,vers=3,proto=tcp,nosuid,nodev * rhost:=gaia.int.autonlab.org;rfs:=/storage/zfsauton2/home/ewinston I do launch daemon as amd -a /zfsauton2 but I get amd:38887 on /zfsauton2/home type nfs (v2, udp, intr, timeo=100, retrans=101) version 2 of NFS protocol which tells me that none of my configuration files has been read. What I would like to accomplish is have one line per user and create on the fly mount point on /zfsauton2/home which does exist on OpenBSD client and then mount remote file system to it. Is that possible with amd? If not I will just write a script and create fake user directories on the shell gateway instead of mounting over a hundred remote NFS directories. Best, Predrag
