- AutoMounter is a sleek and powerful menu item designed to automatically mount your network shares. AutoMounter ensures that your shares are always Apps For Mac - AutoMounter 1.4.2.
- Autofs is a program that automatically mounts specified directories on an on-demand basis. It is based on a kernel module for high efficiency, and can manage both local directories and network shares. These automatic mount points are mounted only when they are accessed, and unmounted after a certain period of inactivity. This on-demand behavior saves bandwidth and results in better performance.
- Choose share from list to access. 2) Open the network server from Finder (on left side under 'Shared'). The list of shares for this network will appear on right. 3) Drag the folder for the share you want to the dock on the right side (i.e. Next to the Trash) You should be automatically mounted and connected to the share upon restart.

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs. Autofs should be as performant as fstab based mounting but has the advantage that your shares are mounted on demand which also should give you more reliability in case of network interuptions. First install the autofs package sudo apt-get install autofs If you already have mounted your shares already via fstab comment out that. AutoMounter 1.3. December 8, 2016. AutoMounter is a sleek and powerful menu item designed to automatically mount your network shares, and will ensure they stay.

The Automounter is a service (consisting of automount/autofs), to mount file systems automatically. Mounting is performed when accessing the configured directories. Unmounting is performed by default after 5 sec. of inactivity (depending on the used image). On Dreamboxes the service is used to access network shares. The shares can be accessed over cifs and/or nfs.
After mounting the share it's possible to play supported movies, music and images. The network shares can be on Dreamboxes, Linux computers, Macs, NAS and Windows computers.
Advantage of the automounter: no scripts, editing of the fstab or boot settings are required.

Functionality Automounter
For the preamble Automount Mounter, two files are important, autofs and automount. Autofs defines the mount points using the auto.master file. Afterwards the mounting is performed by automount.
Goal of the article
- Learn the configuration of the Auto Mounter
Prerequisites
- Knowing the Blue Panel (Automount - Editor) and the remote control
- Editing the configuration file with an unix compatible editor
Configuring the Automounter
There are 3 ways to configure the automounter.
- The Automount Editor of the BluePanel
- Or editing the configuration file
- With the GP3 Plugin and the installed Netscan Plugin, Samba and NFS shares can be found and passed to the Automount Editor.
Configuration via Automount Editor
The Automount Editor is available in Enigma since Gemini Project 1.9 and in Enigma2 since Gemini Project 3.2 in the Blue Panel.
- With Enigma (since version 4.5) the Automount-Editor can be found in the Blue Panel under Extras / Settings => Automount
- With Enigma2 (since version 4.1) under Settings => Automount Editor
- With the installed GP3 Plugin under Blue Panel => Settings => Automount Editor
After configuring the mount point, the box or the autofs Daemon needs to be restarted. When using the Automount Editor of the GP3 Plugin, this is no longer required. After closing the editor, autofs is restarted automatically. |

Accessing the mount point
The access of the created mount point depends on the Gemini version. The easiest way is to use the File Mode (Enigma), or the File Manager (Enigma2).
- For Enigma boxes the mount point can be found in the directory /automount.
- For Enigma2 up to GP version 3.8 the mount point is in /automount. From version 3.9 till 4.1 it can be found in /autofs. And from GP2 4.2 until GP3.2 in /media/net.
- Since Gemini Project 3.3 for OE 2.2 the mount points are in /media/network.
Configuration via configuration file
The configuration file of the automounter for CVS Boxes can be found in /var/etc and for OE Boxes in /etc (CVS/OE Boxes see here). Here you can find also the different files depending on the image version. The syntax remained the same.
- With Enigma the file name is automount.conf. The configuration is possible since Gemini Project 3.1.
- With Enigma2 the file name is automount.conf for Gemini Project 1.8 - 3.8. Since version 3.9 - 4.1 the file name is auto.hotplug. And from version 4.2 until GP 3.2the name is auto.network.
- Since Gemini Project 3.3 for OE 2.2 the file name is auto.gemini.
The permissions with OE 2.0 / OE 2.2 images should be 644. The file shouldn't be executable! You can change the permission with the command chmod 644 /etc/auto.network. |
After the creation of a mount point, the Box or the autofs daemon should be restarted. |
