+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #183130 +++ Description of problem: if try_mount_one function in the mount utility follows the retry_nfs goto (usually occuring because of a local mount error following a successful contact of the nfs server, the mount utility will leak socket descriptors. This is due to the fact that nfsmount records the socket that is bound and connected to an nfs server in a static data structure which gets overwritten without being first closed on repetative calls to nfsmount through the retry_nfs path in try_mount_one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.11y and forward How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add ~600 nfs mounts to /etc/fstab 2.issue a service netfs start 3. Actual results: not all mounts are mounted. mounts begin failing eventually with EADDRINUSE Expected results: all mounts successful. Additional info: I've written the attached patch to correct this problem by initalizing the static data in nfsmount() and checking it on each entry to the function. If it is greater than zero it is closed before attempting to open a new socket. Tested by myself and the reporter with successful results. -- Additional comment from nhorman on 2006-02-26 13:52 EST -- Created an attachment (id=125282) patch to correct mount socket leak
