[Voyage-linux] mount.cifs and autofs and mtab

[Torsten]

hi,

i use voyage 0.6.2

i tried to mount.cifs with voyage. This always gives me a

"could not update mount table" error

That is because mount.cifs wants directly to edit mtab. But that does
not work because it is read only.

I found in other projects to link mtab to /proc/mounts

remountrw
mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab.old
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
remountro

It seems to work fine.

- Does anybody see any problems with this solutions for voyage?


Another hint for users of autofs. I installed autofs and this always
wanted to edit mtab and so it did not work. I installed autofs5 (lenny)
and this seems to work with the mtab link from above.


nice day
