I can't reproduce this problem. Can you at least try U7 kernel and autofs packges? There have been fixes to expire/mount races when ghosting is involved, so perhaps you are running into that. Thanks. will try this as soon as possible ... can you keep the bug open for a while? This problem is very inconsistent ... will try this as soon as possible ... can you keep the bug open for a while? This problem is very inconsistent ... Yes, of course. But I am still awaiting information from you, so I've changed the state appropriately. Jeffrey, Updating seems to have resolved the problem, thanks. |
Description of problem: run-parts fails (very often) on autofs controlled directories Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.3-154 How reproducible: 90% Steps to Reproduce: 1. add autofs controlled directory to /etc/crontab e.g. "01 * * * * root run-parts /usr/local/etc/cron.hourly" 2. Let it go for a while and watch run-parts fail. the [! -d $1 ] test in /usr/bin/run-parts does not always succeed. It seems to succeed 100% in the shell interactively. It is very inconsistent. Actual results: run-parts fails; the test to see if $1 is a directory fails, where $1 is an automounted directory. Expected results: run-parts would work Additional info: autofs options are --ghost and --timeout=60. this sort of thing seems to fail only when run from cron. Just doing "test -d /foo/bar" interactively seems to work all the time (where bar is automounted).
