Description Julian C. Dunn 2004-05-24 06:28:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

The autofs automounter cannot mount ext3 filesystems. It claims
"filesystem needs repair, won't mount" even when the filesystem is clean.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

autofs-4.1.2-2

How reproducible:

Attempt to mount an ext3 filesystem which is mapped in an autofs map.
It will fail. An iso9660 filesystem works (i.e. a CD).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a line like this to /etc/auto.master:

/local          /etc/auto.local --timeout 60

2. In /etc/auto.local, have a line like this:

l1      -fstype=ext3,rw :/dev/hda2

3. Make sure /dev/hda2 is clean by running fsck manually. Now try to
trigger automounting by changing to /local/l1.
  
Actual results:

May 24 02:17:52 XXXXX automount[29612]: mount(ext2): /dev/hda2:
filesystem needs repair, won't mount
May 24 02:17:52 XXXXX automount[29612]: failed to mount /local/l1

Expected results:

  Filesystem is mounted.

Can this be pushed out as a fix, then? Thanks.
Comment 4 Marius Andreiana 2005-08-20 06:22:46 UTC 
FC4 has version autofs 4.1.4. FC2 is no longer supported
