Hello All,
This is an extension to the "unacceptable bug in autofs kernel module" sent by mmarion at qualcomm
http://linux.kernel.org/pipermail/autofs/2005-February/001889.html
Our situation
/usr/sbin/automount -V Linux automount version 4.1.4_beta2 (4.1.2 didnt work either)
We are submitting jobs to machines via LSF, the data being stored on NetApp filers, running OnTap 6.5.2
We run a perl script from
/home/user/workarea called test.pl
test.pl basically does
1. setup a bunch of stuff for our runs, including versions etc.
2. rmtree "DirectoryNeeded" (to make sure we remove cached data from older runs)
3. bsub the job, wait for completion(this job has now created a new copy of "DirectoryNeeded")
4. Once the bsub completes, we then try to do an "opendir" on "DirectoryNeeded" and it doesnt work. Just says not found.
To make the script work I can
1. Take out Step 2(the rmtree part), remove the dir manually and run the script and it works great.
2. Move the rmtree part as part of the bsub command submitted and it works fine.
3. Do a touch on "DirectoryNeeded" just before reading it and everything works.
Almost as if the contents of the dir are still in the rmtree DirectoryNeeded state and hasnt been updated.
Ofcourse, all of this works on Solaris.
Many thanks,
Please let me know if you would like to see more information.
Thanks, Ram.
