I am running Linux kernel version 2.6.24 and automounter 5.0.3 with all patches from the kernel.org repository as of 29 June 2008 (Actually 30 June 2008 due to international date issues with Ian being in Australia and me in the USA).
We came across a strange issue where the automounter seems to report an automounted mount point being expired and unmounted without problems and the directory is removed, but the next time it tries to remount it, the remount fails because it says it's already mounted... But the directory isn't there. "umount -a" clears up this problem. FWIW, there is also this error: "spawn_mount: mount failed with error code 16, retrying with the -f option" This seems to indicate failure to lock /etc/mtab (??) and then failing to retry correctly, but setting its mount table as if it succeeded. Is this already in a patch somewhere or is this a fresh bug? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
