Package: autofs
Version: 5.0.8-2+deb8u1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I noticed that our autofs mounts were not being unmounted AFTER the
configuration was reloaded (HUP)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I was able to patch autofs 5.0.8 with:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/patches-5.0.9/autofs-5.0.8-fix-task-manager-not-getting-signaled.patch
That patch was effective.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The automount process is responsive to USR1 and TERM, and also unmounts
expired mounts after running the patched code.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would like to ask the maintainer to apply the patch to the autofs
5.0.8 package to Jessie.
