Automatically (un)mount network filesystems.
Uses existing mount configuration from /etc/fstab.
>=python-3.11
mount, umount and mountpoint (package util-linux)
getent (package glibc)
ping (package iputils)
NetworkManager (required for auto-features)
If you're using Gentoo Linux you can install this from my overlay:
# eselect repository enable xarblu-overlay
# emerge net-fs/netdev-automount
Clone this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/xarblu/netdev-automount.git
Then make the script executable
$ chmod +x netdev-automount.py
If you want to use the NetworkManager auto features do:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-down.d
sudo cp netdev-automount.py /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/30-netdev-automount.py
sudo ln -s ../netdev-automount.py /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-down.d/30-netdev-automount.py
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
If called directly checks which hosts from /etc/fstab are reachable via ping and mount them.
If called from NetworkManager from /{etc,usr/lib}/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
assumes it is called as a dispatcher event.
The script pulls all mount data from /etc/fstab and thus shouldn't need any more configuration
for basic usage. You may want to remove x-systemd.automount related options and add noauto
just to avoid clashing with system automounting.
To use NetworkManager-dispatcher features configure hosts associated with connections in
/etc/nm-netdev-automount.toml (created by script if not present).
By default no (un)mount actions will be performed unless hosts are explicitly configured.
<connection> is either UUID or NAME of the connection as given by nmcli connection show.
The first match will be used and UUID is preferred.
hosts are as configured in fstab.
# [<connection>]
# hosts = [ 'host_1', 'host_2', 'host_3' ]
