hi Ian,
I found restart autofs service is unnormal:
# /etc/init.d/autofs restart
Starting automount: automount: program is already running.
[  OK  ]

seem there's problem in below, is it right?
function restart() {
        status > /dev/null 2>&1
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                stop
        fi
        start
}

I just talk with Ian about the above issue and he said that it's a known problem.
<snip>
(18时30分00秒) raven-au: known problem, will be fixed in upcoming release, fix is to change to "status autofs > /dev/null 2>&1" in init script
(18时31分49秒) yanwang: ok, so the restart autofs service problem will fix in next 6.0.z errata?
(18时34分23秒) raven-au: I don't think there is a z-stream bug for it, it's fixed 6.1
(18时36分31秒) yanwang: how about fix it in this z-stream package too? It's easy and we could re-spin the errata
(18时37分55秒) raven-au: add a comment to the bug and see if we can get the OK from the z-stream folks
</snip>

So EUS folks,
Do we need to fix it and re-build package or just ignore/remain the issue in this release?

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Prior to this update, an attempt to restart the autofs service while a mounted file system was in use caused the service to stop responding upon its startup. This was due to inappropriate locking during the recursive reconstruction of mount trees of pre-existing mounted multi-mount map entries. With this update, the underlying source code has been adapted to avoid the deadlock during the mount tree reconstruction, so that autofs now starts as expected. Additionally, this update prevents autofs from occasionally terminating with a segmentation fault upon a map entry lookup.

verified against comment #5.

Since no reply from EUS folks, and the autofs service restart problem isn't related to this fix and had fixed in RHEL6.1, so I will let the errata push out. If need fix the autofs restart issue, pls clone bug 624444 for 6.0.z.
