Description of problem: On Debian 7 wheezy, /sbin/mount.glusterfs does not accept -n option and fails for less than two options (e.g. -h). Makes glusterfs native client unusable in autofs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.1-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 3.6.1-1 on Debian wheezy with autofs and glusterfs client 2. Enable verbose logging (/etc/default/autofs and restart service) 3. Create a very basic autofs entry. dest -fstype=glusterfs houseofbricks:/gvol 4. Actual results: When cd'ing to automount directory: -bash: cd: dest: Too many levels of symbolic links In /var/log/syslog Dec 2 17:23:59 testautofs automount[9114]: spawn_mount: mtab link detected, passing -n to mount Dec 2 17:23:59 testautofs automount[9114]: >> WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped.. Dec 2 17:23:59 testautofs automount[9114]: >> Illegal option -n ... Dec 2 17:27:35 testautofs automount[11193]: mounted /spot/dest (the last line is misleading) Expected results: Dec 2 17:54:51 testautofs automount[12189]: attempting to mount entry /spot/dest Dec 2 17:54:51 testautofs automount[12189]: >> WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped.. Dec 2 17:54:51 testautofs automount[12189]: >> rw Dec 2 17:54:52 testautofs automount[12189]: mounted /spot/dest Additional info: Automounting works after the hackiest of hacks. mount.glusterfs still fails on basic arguments like -h, however, due to lack of error checking on argument list. *** mount.glusterfs Wed Nov 12 13:02:44 2014 --- mount.glusterfs.hack Tue Dec 2 18:04:21 2014 *************** main () *** 555,563 **** ## `mount` specifies options as a last argument shift 2; fi ! while getopts "Vo:h" opt; do case "${opt}" in o) parse_options ${OPTARG}; shift 2; ;; --- 555,566 ---- ## `mount` specifies options as a last argument shift 2; fi ! while getopts "Vo:hn" opt; do case "${opt}" in + n) + ;; o) + echo "${OPTARG}" 2>/dev/stderr parse_options ${OPTARG}; shift 2; ;;
Woops. This line is one hack too far and can be removed. + echo "${OPTARG}" 2>/dev/stderr
