Description Timothy N. Riordan 2005-10-12 16:04:29 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
With disturbing frequency autofs will refuse to mount a remote smb file system (Windows 2000 Server, Domain 2k3 AD in interum mode). When this happens if I try to get into the file system I get ony 'Input/Output' error when trying to cd into or directly ls a filesystem.

The only way I have found to get it working is to shut down autofs, remove the log entry from etc-mtab and then restart autofs.

Please add a line like this to your /etc/syslog.conf, and restart syslog:

daemon.*       /var/log/daemon.log

You can restart syslogd with:

service syslog restart

Then, please attach the relevant portion of that log to this bugzilla when the
problem appears.  Please also attach copies of your auto.master and other
relevant maps.

Since the required data to debug the problem was not provided, and as2.1 is open
only for security related fixes, I'm closing this bug.
