Re: Unmount not working with 2.6.21 & 4.1.3/4.1.4

Hi Ian,

This is a brand new box so no.

The automount app is standard gentoo 4.1.3-R7, I also tried 4.1.4 but I had issues getting it to run (with the same config as 4.1.3 it simply would not start)

I googled for two days and verified that all known issues/race conditions seem to be patched in 4.1.3-R7 so I'm at a loss as to what the problem might be.

Yours

Jarl

On second thoughts, before we go down the kernel path, maybe I should
ask a bit more about the history.

Have you had autofs up and running OK on this setup before?
