Host map (auto.net) support in autofs 4 requires kernel features that won't show up until 2.4. Please test the autofs packages in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/. We're reverting to 3.1.5 for this release because current autofs 4 snapshots don't expire directories correctly due to recent kernel changes. |
"New and improved" way of sorting breaks /etc/auto.net script from 'autofs' package. On one of test machines I have the following output from 'showmount -e' (don't ask, but it is valid :-): / *.home.front /usr 192.162.23.0/24 /home 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/distro 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master/usr 192.162.23.0/24 'auto.net' sorts that in the following way /home 192.162.23.0/24 / *.home.front /mnt/box/distro 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master/usr 192.162.23.0/24 /usr 192.162.23.0/24 and none of exported directories gets mounted. After the following change (which likely reflects better what was intended anyway): --- /etc/auto.net~ Fri Aug 4 12:39:05 2000 +++ /etc/auto.net Sun Aug 20 10:15:15 2000 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ # Newer distributions get this right SHOWMOUNT="showmount --no-headers -e $key" -$SHOWMOUNT | sort +0 | \ +$SHOWMOUNT | sort -k 1,1 | \ awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$opts" -- ' BEGIN { ORS=""; print opts } { print " \\\n\t" $1, key ":" $1 } this output of 'sort' becomes / *.home.front /home 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/distro 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master 192.162.23.0/24 /mnt/box/master/usr 192.162.23.0/24 /usr 192.162.23.0/24 and everything mounts like it is supposed to. Replacing "sort +0" with "LC_COLLATE=C sort +0" happens to work as well but with unexpected characters in names may have other, unintended, consequences. Michal michal
