Description VIRENDRASINGH RAJPUT 2022-06-23 10:28:16 UTC

Description of problem:  Nautilus remounts the parent after the auto.master timeout has passed


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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.6 (Ootpa)

nautilus-3.28.1-15.el8.x86_64                               

How reproducible: Everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create autofs config as below:
// autofs config :

[root@rhel8 ~]# grep indirect_root /proc/mounts 
/etc/auto.indirect /indirect_root autofs rw,relatime,fd=23,pgrp=43409,timeout=30,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect,pipe_ino=3788996 0 0
[root@rhel8 ~]# cat /etc/auto.indirect
test 172.23.1.225:/share

2. Install below packages:
# yum install nautilus ; yum install xauth

3. From your workstation :

$ ssh -X rhel8

# mkdir -p /indirect_root/test/a/b/c
# strace -o /tmp/strace.out -fTtty -e access,lstat,stat,open,chdir nautilus /indirect_root/test/a/b/c

4. After 30 sec it will go to up directory automatically.

Actual results: After 30 sec it will go to up directory automatically.


Expected results: It should not go to up directory after 30 sec timeout.

I have thought that the primary problem is that autofs mount can't expire resp. is remounted (as in other cases I dealt with before), but I read relevant bugs again and realized that I have been probably wrong. The main problem seems to be the directory change. 

Among others, I've just proposed upstream change to not change the directory, but it still causes autofs remounts immediately when it expires. Just to be sure, can you please confirm that such behavior is ok to the customer?

Comment 5 Vitezslav Humpa 2023-06-16 06:40:04 UTC

The most recent build of nautilus-3.28.1-25.el8 that contains a recent fix backported from upstream which is verified to fix the original "updir"
issue as well as associated problem found with PathBar missing on autofs timeout.
