From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030708 Description of problem: We use LDAP based tree lookup for autofs in our organization. If the (LDAP and NFS) server is rebooted, it won't find its own ldap based mounts. Reason: The autofs daemon is started at S28. LDAP is started at S39. So when the autofs does LDAP lookup to find all the trees, it gets no result because the LDAP server is not yet up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-3.1.7-36 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a server to be NFS and LDAP server 2. Configure autofs to use LDAP for NFS lookup 3. Reboot Actual Results: % /sbin/service autofs status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount /home ldap ldap.hutweide.de:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=hutweide,dc=de hard,intr,lock,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 Active Mount Points: -------------------- % Expected Results: % /sbin/service autofs status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount /home ldap ldap.hutweide.de:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=hutweide,dc=de hard,intr,lock,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount /home ldap ldap.hutweide.de:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=hutweide,dc=de hard,intr,lock,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 % Additional info: Simply shifting the start levels of autofs from S28 K72 to S40 K60 solves the problem.
I'm not sure whether it's preferrable to shift autofs later in the boot sequence, or make ldap come up earlier. I'd rather not move later in the boot, as I'm not sure if that hinders other services. Nalin, are there any issues moving ldap sooner in the boot? Does it depend on other services?
