RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Since the update to CentOS 7.4 and autofs-5.0.7-69.el7, the special $host variable used in mount points is wrongly replaced by the local hostname instead of the remote server hostname hosting the shared filesystem to be mounted. All mounts using this $host variable were working perfectly with the previous release of autofs (5.0.7-56.el7).
Use case:
Content of /etc/auto.master.d/cifs.autofs:
/smb /etc/autofs/auto.cifs
Content of /etc/autofs/auto.cifs:
* -fstype=autofs,-Dhost=& file:/etc/autofs/auto.cifs.sub
Content of /etc/autofs/auto.cifs.sub:
* -fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/autofs/auto.cifs.${host}.secret,uid=${UID},gid=${GID},nounix,noserverino ://${host}/&
When I enable the debug mode, I can see that accessing to /smb/somesmbserver is now trying to mount the SMB shares of \\<myhostname> instead of \\somesmbserver.
Additional info:
Someone else has experienced the bug. See: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=64309
