Hi! I'm having the problem that was described last year on this list: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.autofs/2006-08/msg00040.html
Given the following mount map: eclipse-3.1 \ /bin -rw,nosuid,grpid fileserver:/volumes/vol1/eclipse-3.1/bin.linx86 \ eclipse \ /bin -rw,nosuid,grpid :/vol/eclipse-3.1/bin \ We can't access /vol/eclipse/bin on the client if /vol/eclipse-3.1/bin is not already mounted. The log says: Oct 1 15:58:45 lahn automount[3329]: attempting to mount entry /vol/eclipse Oct 1 15:58:45 lahn automount[3329]: mounted /vol/eclipse Oct 1 15:58:45 lahn automount[3329]: attempting to mount entry /vol/eclipse/bin Oct 1 15:58:45 lahn automount[3329]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure :/vol/eclipse-3.1/bin on /vol/eclipse/bin Oct 1 15:58:45 lahn automount[3329]: failed to mount /vol/eclipse/bin This fails, after a simple ls -la /vol/eclipse/bin. Now we're doing ls -la /vol/eclipse-3.1/bin: Oct 1 15:59:04 lahn automount[3329]: attempting to mount entry /vol/eclipse-3.1 Oct 1 15:59:04 lahn automount[3329]: mounted /vol/eclipse-3.1 Oct 1 15:59:04 lahn automount[3329]: attempting to mount entry /vol/eclipse-3.1/bin Oct 1 15:59:04 lahn automount[3329]: mount(nfs): mounted fileserver:/volumes/vol1/eclipse-3.1/bin.linx86 on /vol/eclipse-3.1/bin Oct 1 15:59:04 lahn automount[3329]: mounted /vol/eclipse-3.1/bin And after that, ls -la /vol/eclipse/bin of course succeeds: Oct 1 15:59:06 lahn automount[3329]: attempting to mount entry /vol/eclipse/bin Oct 1 15:59:06 lahn automount[3329]: mounted /vol/eclipse/bin Should I try the patch mentioned in the thread last year? I'm currently using kernel 2.6.18 (from debian, we're bound to that one since it supports xen), autofs-5.0.2 with all patches from kernel.org applied. -- Lukas _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
