Host map support working correctly requires a 2.4 kernel, and the latest 4.0 prerelease doesn't work correctly under it. Given those two things, we're backing off to 3.1 for this release. Please test the 3.1.5-5 packages in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/ and see if you have any problems with it. I installed autofs-3.1.5-5.i386.rpm and the /net mounts still do not work - I presume because I still have a 2.2 kernel. Is there an RPM for the 2.4 kernel? I do not seem to find any in the pinstripe distribution. There's no package for 2.4 kernels because the latest 4.0.0 prerelease no longer works correctly with the 2.4 test kernels. We'll release a 4.0 package after 2.4 is release and autofs 4.0 stabilizes to the point where the author considers it release-quality. |
Cool that /net even manages to occasionally work, but it fails to mount hosts that do not export their root directory (/) - it looks like it fails because it tries to create a directory without creating the parent directory - for example here I tried to access /net/borg where borg does not export /: Aug 23 12:53:09 grinch automount[7625]: attempting to mount entry /net/borg Aug 23 12:53:09 grinch automount[7668]: parse(sun): dequote("fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid ^I/dsk/1 borg:/dsk/1 ^I/dsk/2 borg:/dsk/2 ^I/dsk/3 borg:/dsk/3 ^I/export borg:/export ^I/exports borg:/exports ^I/home borg:/home") -> fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid Aug 23 12:53:09 grinch automount[7668]: parse(sun): dequote("/dsk/1 borg:/dsk/1 ^I/dsk/2 borg:/dsk/2 ^I/dsk/3 borg:/dsk/3 ^I/export borg:/export ^I/exports borg:/exports ^I/home borg:/home") -> /dsk/1 Aug 23 12:53:09 grinch automount[7668]: parse(sun): dequote("borg:/dsk/1 ^I/dsk/2 borg:/dsk/2 ^I/dsk/3 borg:/dsk/3 ^I/export borg:/export ^I/exports borg:/exports ^I/home borg:/home") -> borg:/dsk/1 Aug 23 12:53:09 grinch automount[7668]: mount(nfs): mkdir_path borg/dsk/1 failed: Operation not permitted It looks like autofs also fails for some other hosts because it does not sort the mounts correctly - here I try to access host "marvin" that does export all its disks: Aug 23 13:03:37 grinch automount[7625]: attempting to mount entry /net/marvin Aug 23 13:03:37 grinch automount[7784]: parse(sun): dequote("fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid ^I/array marvin:/array ^I/marvin:/ ^I/tmp marvin:/tmp") -> fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid Aug 23 13:03:37 grinch automount[7784]: parse(sun): dequote("/array marvin:/array ^I/ marvin:/ ^I/tmp marvin:/tmp") -> /array Aug 23 13:03:37 grinch automount[7784]: parse(sun): dequote("marvin:/array ^I/ marvin:/ ^I/tmp marvin:/tmp") -> marvin:/array Aug 23 13:03:37 grinch automount[7784]: mount(nfs): mkdir_path marvin/array failed: Operation not permitted
