[Bug 573919] Re: NIS-based autofs maps don't load on startup
It is really great that work is in progress I look forward to see this bug fixed in lucid/precise! I have a small comment though: in my case the autofs startup problem is unrelated to NIS, as I use LDAP. Out of desperation 1.5 years ago I also experimented with flat map files on local fs and even with that setup I encountered periodic problems with autofs startup at boot. Either autofs is not started or needs to be restarted to pick up the shares. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573919 Title: NIS-based autofs maps don't load on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/573919/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 40189] Re: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares
I maintain a 10.04 LTS based cluster of workstations where each node is subject to some stress and need to be restarted once in a while. Autofs maps of nfs shares are communicated via LDAP. Autofs fails to initialize (or even start in some rare cases) in its default configuration in about 50% of all boots, making the nodes unusable until autofs is restarted. In addition to this bug sometimes bind mounts fail to initialize at boot and need a remount. After trying out several suggested workarounds unsuccessfully I am using the following not too elegant rc.local script, which hammers autofs into submission (works 99% of the time). I also advise my users not to restart their computers unless absolutely necessary. #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will exit 0 on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. sleep 10 service autofs start sleep 60 service autofs restart sleep 60 service autofs restart sleep 60 mount -a exit 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40189 Title: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/40189/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 573919] Re: autofs doesn't work with lucid
Our 10 machine system (all lucid 64-bit) also suffers from this diffuse bug. Workaround #23 did not work, some of the machines start autofs anyway even with start on never in /etc/init/autofs.conf . Putting service autofs restart in /etc/rc.local works only for about half of the machines and not reproducibly either. When I type manually sudo service autofs restart at console the system recovers almost all the time. I don't understand how that is different from putting the command in /etc/rc.local. I tried with various sleep delays with no success. It is quite frustrating indeed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573919 Title: autofs doesn't work with lucid -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
