Description of problem: Automounting a directory sometimes fails. Unfortunately, autofs in RHEL 5 does not get anything logged in /var/log/messages so unlike earlier versions of autofs the problem cannot easily be debugged in RHEL 5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.2 Expected results: When an error occurs, an error gets logged in /var/log/messages. Additional info:
To a large extent that is right, autofs doesn't log mount fails without extra logging enabled. The problem is that we've received complains about too much logging in the past, as this can be quite common. Having said that though, the logging should be similar to version 4 so a bit more information would be gretly appreciated. Also, please try revision 0.rc2.84 as that is currently the revision that will be included in 5.2 and there have been changes to the logging. Ian
