Hi Jeff, Ok I was thinking this way: I experience this only on U7 system running U4 kernel - on the same U7 system running U7 kernel I can not replicate this. If the negative caching is done in the user space and there is a bug there which causes the autofs to segfault, how is it possible that is won't segfault on the U7 kernel? I do not know I am still trying to find out if there is any connection to the problem with the automounter hanging that I reported earlier as: - in U7 system running U7 kernel, the autofs does not crash, but hangs (after few days). - in U7 system running U4 kernel, the autofs forks crash regularly but otherwise it works fine (I mean at least the parent autofs fork continue living...) You know what I am trying to say? Thanks, Ondrej _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
