Automount of 9p fs not working [solved - workaround]

Greetings,

I'm running lede on a x86+64 vm under kvm, I want to automount a share on the vm, the fs is 9p, I've installed block-mount and configured the entry in the ui but the automount isn't working, here is the config entry:

config mount
        option enabled '1'
        option device 'share'
        option target '/mnt/share'
        option fstype '9p'
        option options 'trans=virtio'

/mnt/share exists and I can mount it manually.
what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dagg.

Did you install kmod-fs-9p?

You might need to to install libblkid
That fs detection library helps block to identify and mount more exotic file systems.

See e.g. Mounting USB: block info block detect not able to see exFAT [solved]

Greetings,

both are installed, see:

dagg@NCC-5001-D ~/workspace/router/openwrt $ egrep "9p|blkid" .config
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-fs-9p=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-9pnet=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_libblkid=y
# CONFIG_PACKAGE_blkid is not set

Have you set the automount option in the global fstab section?

You might simply force the mount by a manual mount command placed in /etc/rc.local that is run at the end of the boot.

Greetings,

here are more outputs:

        option enabled '0'

config mount
        option target '/mnt/vda2'
        option uuid '57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b'
        option enabled '0'

config mount
        option enabled '1'
        option device 'share'
        option target '/mnt/share'
        option fstype '9p'
        option options 'trans=virtio'

manual force is a possability but I'd rather try to use the standard flow.

Auto-mounting of any filesystems not backed by local device nodes is not possible atm. So things like NFS, Samba etc. will not work.

thanks for the clearup, will use another method.

thanks, I've ended using this method, e.g. entered a entry in /etc/fstab and mount it at rc.local
