Previously, when autofs looked up a host name where when one NFS server name was associated with multiple IP adresses, autofs would repeat the query many times. As a consequence of these multiple queries, the mount would take a long time. Now, redundant queries have been removed, so that autofs performs the mount more quickly.

This issue has been fixed in the latest autofs package autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.125. The autofs RHTS test bugzillas/bz495895 can be used to verify this correction. I'm afraid I must frop the manual umount recovery patch. Internal regression testing has shown that it causes problems with the autofs submount handling and after trying to fix it for some time without success I have to concede defeat on this, at least for now, as time has run out for RHEL-5.4. At least this doesn't affect the fix for the root cause we identified so, if you would like this further investigated, please log a new bug and I'll revisit it for RHEL-5.5. Sorry, for the inconvenience. ~~ Attention - RHEL 5.4 Beta Released! ~~ RHEL 5.4 Beta has been released! There should be a fix present in the Beta release that addresses this particular request. Please test and report back results here, at your earliest convenience. RHEL 5.4 General Availability release is just around the corner! If you encounter any issues while testing Beta, please describe the issues you have encountered and set the bug into NEED_INFO. If you encounter new issues, please clone this bug to open a new issue and request it be reviewed for inclusion in RHEL 5.4 or a later update, if it is not of urgent severity. Please do not flip the bug status to VERIFIED. Only post your verification results, and if available, update Verified field with the appropriate value. Questions can be posted to this bug or your customer or partner representative. Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
