Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2011 11:04 Post subject: Can't change /tmp/c to /mnt with Automount
Hi all,
Just installed dd-wrt and the Optware for the first time. Very pleased with both results.
Would like to have ext3 data partition mounted on /mnt with Automount. Searched forum and followed instructions in this thread topic 86875 but after several attempts, including automount restarts and reboots, automount still mounting device/partition to /tmp/c.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may not work because there's a reservation of /mnt in /opt/etc/automount. The version automount you are using doesn't allow the removal of such an entry if it is not mounted.
I just added some code so it's now possible to use the command "umount" if it's not mounted at the moment.
Code:
wget -O /opt/etc/init.d/S35automount http://wd.mirmana.com/S35automount
service automount umount /tmp/c
service automount umount /mnt
service automount start
run "service automount" to show its status _________________ Asus RT16N + OTRW

Thanks for your help frater.
Installed automount update, restarted and rebooted but still getting the following.
root@DD-WRT:~# service automount
Mounted partitions in automount:
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /opt type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /tmp/c type ext3 (rw,noatime)
Mounted partitions NOT in automount:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /mnt type ext3 (rw,noatime)
Unmounted attached partitions to be hotmounted:
Unmounted attached partitions (unassigned):
Unmounted attached partitions which should not be mounted:
Unattached partitions in automount:
Unrecognized partitions:
Still can't get automount not to mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /tmp/c on reboot.
Also, the 'mount' option as per the Wiki does not now seem to be an option.
e.g.
root@DD-WRT:~# service automount mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /mnt
Usage: /opt/etc/init.d/S35automount (start | stop | status | umount <blockdevice|mountpoint> | nomount <blockdevice> | nonomount <blockdevice>)
How does the partition get auto mounted then?
Sorry to be dim but am I missing something? How do I ensure automount on each reboot?
Please excuse a noob.
Richard.

I don't know if 'mount' ever was an option. I thought so until I noticed it wasn't during an edit. It may have been lost...
But it doesn't necessarily need that option. It's not called automount for nothing. I did forget the line
Code:
service automount umount /mnt
in my previous post. You should unmount both the /tmp/c and /mnt. Afterwards it should assign the first free partition to /mnt.
Do you have some code somewhere that mounts /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 to /mnt?
If so, remove it. _________________ Asus RT16N + OTRW

Tried unmounting partion and both /tmp/c and /mnt.
When I restart automount the partition is still on /tmp/c.
I have no script loading /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /tmp/c.

Not sure if it is the same thing, but I had a partition that would get mounted to /tmp/d that I wanted as /mnt instead. I just opened /opt/etc/automount and changed the line that said "/tmp/d" to "/mnt", rebooted and mounts the partition to /mnt without any issues.

That fixed the problem I was having in a post I just made, so thanks! (changing automount file) However, now I'm wondering what I do to set up a network directory I can read from and write to? Is that something I can do easily in Samba-SWAT?
Thanks,

I'm new to all this, also, so sorry if it's a very rudimentary question, or if it's a thread hijack. If either is true, let me know, I'll start a new thread, or go back to my original one. _________________ Currently running:

zmonkey, could you start a new thread please. I'd like to focus on getting a resolution to my specific prob, Thanks
re my last post I mis-edited /opt/etc/automount on first attempt. Tried again today, just editing /opt/etc/automount, changing /tmp/c to /mnt for the relevant partition. Restarted and autorun - all OK! Then rebooted and still all OK.

Hey frater,
I was trying to create a customized mount structure like this:
Code:
mkdir /opt/mnt
mkdir /opt/mnt/orion
mkdir /opt/mnt/sheratan
mount -n -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/sda3 /opt/mnt/orion
mount -n -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/sda1 /opt/mnt/sheratan
service automount start
I'm using /opt/mnt because its where I have write access (I don't want to use jjfs) so I can easily change to other dd-wrt units just moving the pen drive.
However I noticed that the automount script cuts out anything starting with "opt" so it does not "memorize" my mount structure under /opt.
So I made a few changes (4 lines) in S35automount (attached) in such a way it preserves the /opt basic mount but allows me to create new mount points under /opt/mnt.
I hope it helps.

Modified automount service to allow mounts under /opt
Not sure if it is the same thing, but I had a partition that would get mounted to /tmp/d that I wanted as /mnt instead. I just opened /opt/etc/automount and changed the line that said "/tmp/d" to "/mnt", rebooted and mounts the partition to /mnt without any issues.

I managed to get mine working using Fraters approach.
You have to umount all drives first then run services automount start.
I hade 3 drives /mnt/ /tmp/c and /tmp/d.
When I only umounted /mnt/ and /tmp/c nothing changed. But when I did all 3, tmp/c storage was now assigned to mnt. _________________ dd-wrt eko/V24-K26 15508

I have nearly the same issue. I installed optware on following configuration:
- USB Stick (2GB) with 2 partitions, 1. EXT3; 2. SWAP
- HDD (1TB) with 3 partitions, all NTFS
At the first run after installing optware everything went fine, USB stick was mounted to /opt, first partition on HDD to /mnt, second to /tmp/c and third to /tmp/d.
But after a reboot automount mounts all HDD partitions to /mnt.
There is no other mounting script running and I also tried the new S35automount script.
So as next I stopped automount and ran it again and following happened:
Code:
root@DD-WRT:~# service automount start
Start service "automount" (/opt/etc/init.d/S35automount)
service: Start service: "automount" (/opt/etc/init.d/S35automount)

I think, I found the problem. At first I thought it might be xinetd service. So I renamed S10xinetd to S36xinetd, the problem stayed. After that I cleaned the /opt/etc/automount rebooted and everything went fine.
No I am looking to modify the reboot to clean the /opt/etc/automount. How can I do that?
There was an error in S35automount.
I fixed it an hour ago. _________________ Asus RT16N + OTRW
