automount in fedora 17

[paul van der meij]

I just fresh installed fedora 17 coming from fedora 14, i have tested 16
but decided to wait, and 17 looks now very nice.
But I have a problem: the automounter is not working.
I can mount manually so NFS is working OK

sytemctl list-all says: automount : active waiting

probably something simple, but I do not see it
any ideas

That was not entirely correct: in the messages file it says:
  get_nfs_info: host pc4 cost 311 weight 0
  mount(nfs): no hosts available

I googled and found a reference to bugzilla #737541, but I don't understand
the "resolved' ..

I started the automount with the -d option, and saw that the error was in
get_nfs_info.
The host it self is reachable and a manual mount works, so it has probably
to do with nfs4
I will continue to investigate.

Please read the man-pages for systemd.automount 
and systemd.mount. See especially the /etc/fstab part in the latter.

Sorry, I didn't have enough information from your first post to do
much but guess...

A followup question:

Are you only having problems with NFS? If so, it may be a firewall
issue. My existing setup from F15 didn't work in F17. I had to open
2049 (which system-config-firewall has a preset for) as well as 111
for portmapper and 20048 for mountd.

The last one was a real problem because there doesn't seem to be much
information on it.

thanks for reaction, but noI already tried that, but it has something to do
with changes in the autofs control files
since FC14, but I have not figured it out yet
