I had this problem ... /home was automounted and "ls /home" was giving the error "ls: cannot open directory '/home': Too many levels of symbolic links". Other automounted directories worked fine.
I stopped the automounter and noticed that the /home directory had a couple of symlinks in it. I removed the symlinks and removed the /home directory as well, for good measure. When I restarted the automounter, it re-created the /home directory and ls /home showed the contents of the remote mount point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589384 Title: Too many levels of symbolic links - AutoFS5 5.0.7-3ubuntu3.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/1589384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
