Second day on this, so I'm definitely doing something wrong.

Can mount a spare drive to user's home subdirectory mount point, with correct permissions for user to use it. Doing that with just simple mount [device] [mountpoint] Device is ext4 logical volume, which fscks clean.

If I tell automount/autofs do it, it's not usable at all. The subdirectory is created, but owned and only accessible by root. The automount itself fails with:

...wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/xvdi, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. mount(ext2): failed to mount /dev/xvdi (type ext4) on....

The current automap options I'm using are:

-fstype=auto,defaults,noatime,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 :/dev/xvdi

I've tried many - fstype=ext4, ext2, with an without ids and modes, and without any options.

I'm also using udev rules, because this drive is not always connected:

KERNEL="xvdi", OWNER="user", GROUP="user", MODE="0770"

Does anyone have something similar working? Is there something easier than autofs, which is not systemd based?

You can use --fstype=autofs instead of filesystem format. Please check the following example for your information.


-fstype=auto,defaults,noatime,gid=100,uid=1000,nls=utf8 :/dev/sdax

  • Thanks. Same error so far. – bigsy Dec 9 '19 at 6:09
  • @bigsy Did you check through the format filesystem ? – Roshan Chavan Dec 9 '19 at 6:23
  • Not sure what you mean by format filesystem. The drive mounts with mount command, and fsck says it's clean. Only automount can't figure it out. – bigsy Dec 9 '19 at 6:53
  • @bigsy Could you please provide df -h output ? – Roshan Chavan Dec 9 '19 at 8:10
  • @bigsy, Please mention the driver name like xvdi1 into autofs file. – Roshan Chavan Dec 9 '19 at 10:22
