Yes, this should be fixed for directories that existed before autofs was started. Chris, I think this affects the same code paths as the /net bug you are looking into (137998). This bug has been fixed in autofs-4.1.3-77. We seem to be suffering from a similar problem. At our site, /opt as a symbolic link to /misc/opt, which is an automount point. All autofs configuration, including auto.master, is in a LDAP directory. Sometimes when the NFS server times out, the /opt->misc/opt symbolic link is removed. /misc/opt is still accessible and works, but the symbolic link pointing to it is deleted automagically. This does not happen on every shutdown or every timeout - I haven't been able to reproduce it reliably. It has happened many times on half a dozen machines over the last 5 months. A dying ethernet switch increased the frequency of these events, so I assume it happens on timeout. The NFS clients running autofs are Fedora Core 3, kernel versions 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 - 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and autofs 4.1.3-28. The server is FC2, running a Fedora 2.6.9 kernel (not sure which one). Try upgrading to the latest test version of autofs on your client machines, this should fix your problem. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/3/i386/autofs-4.1.3-114.i386.rpm An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below.
