Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.4-10
Severity: normal
autofs continuously keeps mounting the devices that have been listed.
Because of this after every 20 continuous mounts, fsck keeps running.
Here are the relevant contents of the config files:
/etc/auto.master
#
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
/mnt /etc/auto.misc --ghost --timeout=30
/etc/auto.misc

# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
#cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux -ro,soft,intr ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1
#floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
#floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0
#e2floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0
#jaz -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sdc1
#removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd
backup -fstype=ext3,defaults :/dev/sda1
build -fstype=ext3,defaults :/dev/sda2
vfat -fstype=vfat,user,uid=1000,umask=0000 :/dev/sda3
#usb2 -fstype=auto,user,umask=0022 :/dev/sdb1
windows -fstype=vfat,uid=1000,umask=0022,user :/dev/hda2
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,user,unhide :/dev/hdc
cdrw -fstype=iso9660,rw,user :/dev/hdc
dvd -fstype=iso9660,ro,user :/dev/hdc
I noticed that the automatic mount/remount is happening every 30 seconds
which is equivalent to what I've set in /etc/auto.master as the timout
option.
I'm using KDE. Does it have anything to do with KDE's automounting stuff
?

Okay! I found the culprit.
It is hal. The automount program is WAD. As per the config option, it is
expiring the share after 30 seconds. It is then where hal comes into the
picture and forces automount to again mount the share.
This keeps happening in a loop and thus we end seeing fsck run on the device
within around every 5 minutes.
Removing the hal package has solved the problem.
I'm closing this defect and will open one against hal.
If my explanation doesn't convince you please re-open the bug.
Thanks,
Ritesh
