[network-shares-automount] package released

Could people having problems with this please post the log file, which is to be found at /tmp/scanmounts.log

Thanks for taking a look at this at holiday time!

I've just tried to open the file using the file editor on the WebIf Diagnostics page.
It refuses, saying the file is "too large (1.62MiB > 100KiB)"

I might need guidance to attempt a different way, but happy to give it a go.

From a command prompt (using Webshell or Telnet or SSH, select the "cli" option from the menu and you should get a humax# prompt), issue the following commands:
Code: 
head /tmp/scanmounts.log
tail /tmp/scanmounts.log
and copy/paste the results here.
exit gets you out of the shell back to the menu.

Have you rebooted since the package update?
 
Yes, the boxes have been rebooted since. (The updates were done just after 4am when I wake them up for auto-processing, then shut down again at 5am.)
I've power-cycled one HDR since then, with no change.

FWIW:
A second HDR with the same issue has a slightly smaller log file, but also too large for the Diagnostics editor to handle.
On a 3rd HDR that has network-shares-automount installed but not configured, the scanmounts.log just has a single line "2025-12-27 10:22:06 started" which I guess is when I brought that machine out of standby this morning.

I'll have a go with the commands you've given and report back....
 
Here are the results.
I should have mentioned that the machines normally connect to two domains, "NASAudio" and "NAS", so there are two failure to connect reports.

Code: 
Please select option: cli

By way of explanation...
cifs was a dependency in the previous version, but as network-shares-automount is agnostic about whether it uses SMB or NFS mounts, then it made no sense to force installation of cifs for SMB if you were only using NFS (like I am), so I removed the dependency. It never forced nfs-utils for NFS.
An unexpected side effect of this is that upgrading the package automatically removed the cifs package that was previously auto-installed.

I've just coded a better way of doing this, where it automatically installs the relevant package(s) as and when it discovers configuration items that need them.
