autofs 4.1.4 regression?

autofs 4.1.4 regression?

[Jeremy Rosengren]

I previously worked with Ian to troubleshoot and resolve some problems 
that I was seeing with autofs 4.1.3's replicated server code.  
Everything had been working swimmingly with Fedora Core 3's autofs 
4.1.3-114 package.

I'm testing Fedora Core 4, and am seeing problems with replicated host 
maps and autofs 4.1.4-5.

Here's the map:

[root@flexer ~]# ypcat -k auto_group
icdes ausfiler,minnfiler2:/vol/vol0/data/group/&

Here's what happens:

[root@flexer ~]# cd /group/icdes
-bash: cd: /group/icdes: No such file or directory

Here's what /var/log/messages says:
May  9 16:25:48 flexer automount[8202]: mount(nfs): host 
ausfiler,minnfiler2: lookup failure
May  9 16:25:48 flexer automount[8202]: >> mount: special device 
/vol/vol0/data/group/icdes does not exist
May  9 16:25:48 flexer automount[8202]: failed to mount /group/icdes

Using 4.1.3-114 in FC3 this works without any problems.  Also, 
non-replicated maps seem to be working just fine.  Any other information 
I can gather to help troubleshoot?

Thanks,

There is a regression, but it's in the Red Hat package.  I've got a fix for
it.  Please try 4.1.4-8 from my people page:
  http://people.redhat.com/~jmoyer/autofs/fc4/

I'll push this to rawhide once that's enabled again.  Sorry for the
inconvenience.  Oh, and definitely let me know whether or not this fixes
your problem.

Thanks,

Jeff

The 4.1.4-8 package seems to work properly with my replicated host maps.

Thanks for the quick response!
