I'm always leery of moving forward to newer linux kernels, not much of a problem in Debian since they pick a version and keep with it throughout a release. I may or may not have time to dedicated to work with the patch you provided for autofs5 immediately, right now our push is to just get this deployed. I didn't realize the automounter scanned mtab though, so that's good to know. I greatly appreciate your help Ian, and will let you guys know of any gotchas we run into. It's a pretty odd environment, serving jails for ~10k domains so when something doesn't work right even 1% of the time it's usually pretty obvious. > > Ian > > -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
