From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I was reading the "Linux NFS and Automounter Administration" book. It sounds like there is some real potential for using the autofs for some of the amd mounts. The FC Linux kernels have suport already built in [drkludge@kids drkludge]$ more /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs ... nodev nfs nodev nfs4 nodev autofs The only thing that is required is am-utils-6.1 or better. Would you please evaluate if the amd 6.1 code base is at a useable state to support autofs? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): am-utils-6.0.9-6.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.This is an RFE. The current package, am-utils-6.0.9-6.1, does not contain autofs support. 2./usr/sbin/amd -v 3. autofs is missing from this line FS: iso9660, lofs, nfs, nfs3, msdos, tmpfs, ext2. Actual Results: Output of /usr/sbin/amd -v follows /usr/sbin/amd -v ... am-utils version 6.0.9 (build 1). Built by root.redhat.com on date Thu Mar 4 22:31:55 EST 2004. cpu=i386 (little-endian), arch=i386, karch=i686. full_os=linux, os=linux, osver=2.4.21-4.ELsmp, vendor=redhat.

AMFS: nfs, link, nfsx, nfsl, host, linkx, program, union, inherit, ufs, lofs, cdfs, pcfs, auto, direct, toplvl, error. FS: iso9660, lofs, nfs, nfs3, msdos, tmpfs, ext2. ... Expected Results: /usr/sbin/amd -v ... FS: autofs, iso9660, lofs, nfs, nfs3, msdos, tmpfs, ext2. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
I changed the release to FC 3. Is this the best way to keep this RFE in the queue?
Probably 'devel' is even better, since all of the current development is on FC4 (and in a few months, will be on FC5). And the devel tree still has am-utils-6.0.9. But, maybe I'm missing something -- why not just use the autofs package?
am-utils-6.1.1-2 is already in devel.
