Hello,
Are there any known issues with auto direct automounts on RHEL.... (see details below) # uname -r 2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp # more /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7) # rpm -qi autofs-4.1.3-234 Name : autofs Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.1.3 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 234 Build Date: Thu 19 Jun 2008 05:18:46 PM BST Install Date: Tue 16 Dec 2008 06:08:11 PM GMT Build Host: hs20-bc1-5.build.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: autofs-4.1.3-234.src.rpm Size : 960684 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 01 Jul 2008 02:32:36 PM BST, Key ID 219180cddb42a60e Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> Summary : A tool for automatically mounting and unmounting filesystems. Description : Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons. The automount daemons automatically mount filesystems when you use them and unmount them after a period of inactivity. Filesystems can include network filesystems, CD-ROMs, floppies, and other media. Install this package if you want a program for automatically mounting and unmounting filesystems. If your Red Hat Linux machine is on a network, you should install autofs. Although the configuration seems to be perfectly fine: # more /etc/auto.master ... /misc /etc/auto.misc /net /etc/auto.net /- /etc/auto.direct # more /etc/auto.direct ... /PKGrep <host>:/export/PKGrep It does not want to start autofs saying: automount[9521]: cache_ghost: entry in file:/etc/auto.direct not valid map format, key /PKGrep Auto direct work however if we do not use the dir directly under root. Any ideas? Many thanks, Wojtek
