Probably to Ian: I am just looking in the autofs5 (from RHEL5) source. I have an indirect nis map: auto.master: /appli auto.appli /proj auto.proj
Now, auto.proj contains a wildcard entry (* nfsserver:/share/&) but auto.appli does not. 1. Every time I try to enter (shortly after each other) /proj/nonexistent_directory, I got this: Dec 5 12:10:45 ara automount[3101]: rmdir_path: lstat of /proj/nonexistent_directory failed ... why did not the negative cache save us the expensive call to lstat? 2. Every time I try to enter (shortly after each other) /appli/nonexistent_directory, I got this: Dec 5 12:11:41 ara automount[3101]: lookup_mount: lookup(yp): key "nonexistent" not found in map ... again, looks like the nis daemon was consulted but the negative cache should take the place. Maybe I do not understand the concept of negative caching well....
