Auto Mounts No Longer Working After Updates

Hi All -
I’ve had automounts via samba from my unraid server working for quite some time. Latest updates borked it all. Trying to see if anyone has suggestions on how to resolve. Happy to provide whatever logs might help.

Yes I know all of these things…I just don’t know why the update borked it all…

I suppose that would of been nice to provide with your post! :wink:

What is the unit configuration?

Can you manually mount -t cifs it?

The above may throw the same errors in journalctl you are getting with your mount unit. No one knows.

Sorry - I’m terrible with knowing how to pull logs (thus why I didn’t post them up front). But, I ended up “fixing” it by going into my .automounts, I modified them, then reverted and saved again. Now, all is working again.

In this case, to troubleshoot… I would have run (in a separate window/tab/whatever): journalctl -f

This sees every new log entry, so I was suggesting try a manual mount, while watching the logs.

But you can filter by unit/service name too, how many boots(restarts) ago, simple ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ date ranges, etc. man journalctl

But when you say “automounts”, I had assumed a systemd mount unit (that happens to automatically mount). This is the way I do it anyway.
