Description Flags
Patch - fix amd section mounts map reload none

Description Ian Kent 2021-05-08 08:00:43 UTC
Description of problem:
When amd top level mounts are added to the autofs configuration instead
of the autofs master map they get umounted on reload.

I'm not sure when this started happening.

How reproducible:
always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an amd entry to /etc/autofs.conf
   eg., at the bottom of /etc/autofs.conf add:

[ /test/redhat ]
# map name must be defined, all else are optional
map_name = amd.redhat

Where /etc/amd.redhat contains, say:
exports   fs:=${map};pref:=${key}
exports/* hostd==${/key}.long.domain.name.themaw.net;type:=link;fs:=/ \
          hostd!=${/key}.long.domain.name.themaw.net; \
            type:=host; rhost:=${/key}.long.domain.name.themaw.net;\
            opts:=rw,hard,intr,nosuid,retrans=9,timeo=45;\
            fs:=${autodir}/redhat/${key}

You might need to get rid of the line continueations following the
hostd!=...
2. Start autofs and verify /test/redhat has been mounted:
service autofs start
mount|grep \/test\/redhat
amd.redhat on /test/redhat type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=80385,timeout=60,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect,pipe_ino=331617)
3. Reload autofs configuration:
service autofs reload
mount|grep \/test\/redhat

Actual results:
Mount is umounted on reload of autofs

Expected results:
Mount is not umounted on service relaod.
