autofs4 patches for 2.6 kernel

autofs4 patches for 2.6 kernel

[Ian Kent]

Hi all,

Some progress on getting the autofs4 patches into the kernel tree.

Could anyone that is able to test within a 2.6 envronment please test this 
as much as possible and feed back the results.

There are bound to be problems so it would be good to be pro-active.

Thanks in advance.

Ian

Just to make sure I understand before I start testing -

Are all 2.6 patches now in the mm2 kernel or are there others I need to 
add as well?

All there.

I expect they will come under scrutiny in the mm2 tree. Hopefully they 
will find their way into a release soonish.

It's not really related to kernel side but it seems that the variables
on command line (-Dtoto=tata) are not passed throught submount, at
least for direct mount.

I test it with automount version 4.1.2

You are correct.

I have a contributed patch for that and hope to get to it soon.
