Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu 16.04 Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686679 Title: [SRU] Ubuntu16.04 : autofs takes extreamly long with large number of direct maps Status in autofs5 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in autofs5 source package in Xenial: New Status in autofs5 source package in Yakkety: New Bug description: [Impact] autofs service in xenial takes extremely long time since its creating the directory hierarchy for all direct mounts maps, thus it will take too long to make all the automount shares available when using autofs with large direct mappings, customer is complaining about this point. So we need to backport the following upstream patch. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/autofs/autofs.git/commit/?id=67e7d613a4b09eeffc57ab44a7acb52027d897b2 [Test Case] * Create an autofs direct mount map with large direct mappings (eg: more than 20k) * Start autofs service to see if it will take too much time to automount all mappings. [Regression Potential] With this upstream patch, we can avoid creating path compnents on remote file system unless that file system is the root file system. so theoretically there is no regression potential. [Other Info] Redhat [1] also already backported the following patch, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440769 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/1686679/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators Post to : group.of.nepali.translators@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
