To the folks asking about automounting a CD-ROM last week,
I just got my CD drive working with amd today, so maybe this will help. The
map file, in /etc/amd.map, looks like this:
/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
* opts:=rw,grpid
valis type:=auto;\
fs:=${map};\
pref:=${key}/
valis/cdrom type:=program;\
fs:=/mnt/cdrom;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /mnt/cdrom";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /mnt/cdrom"
The first two lines are as shipped with 2.1.5R, the rest of it I added. The
mountpoint for valis (the name of the machine) is just to keep all the mounts
for that machine in one place, in case I have have more than one box here.
The CD is locally mounted on /mnt/cdrom, with a corresponding entry in
/etc/fstab:
/dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
Amd then mounts this as /a/valis/cdrom, and a have a symbolic link from /cdrom
to there. Thus a 'cd /cdrom' now causes the CD to be mounted :)
I'm running amd at boot time, with the following line in /etc/sysconfig:
amdflags="-a /a -c 1800 -k i386 -d dcs.qmw.ac.uk -l syslog /a /etc/amd.map"
All this was arrived at through several hours of trial and error, plus lots of
cursing at the amd documentation. I still don't really inderstand what it's
all doing, but it does appear to work.
HTH,
Scott
