Because of this, user space test program reporting like this:
fail : /test/t944 : No such file or directory
fail : /test/t4187 : No such file or directory
Hmm.. I wonder if this might be related to a weirdness we're seeing. Running
autofs-4.1.3 with previous latest patch to kernel (pre-2005 release) and users
use LSF to submit batch jobs to hosts. On linux hosts, user level programs
will sometimes exit quickly with a "file does not exist" error, even though you
can login to the host and see the file/dir just fine. As a hacked
work-around, we have a pre-exec script that tries to stat all the directories
they need to force the mounts to happen before their program touches the
files.
Does the stat actually mount anything?
It shouldn't?

I moved latest version Autodir to autofs 4 kernel module and so far all
stress tests tell me autofs4 protocol is performing well without these
ENOENT errors. I have to do little bit more tests before concluding
anything as final.
For more details check http://www.intraperson.com/autodir/.
DVersion: Autodir 0.93.0 and above.
