RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2011-07-29 15:16:50 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.99-5.20110728T0521zgit1b09ca5.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # ipa automountlocation-tofiles pune
/etc/auto.master:
/-	/etc/auto.direct
---------------------------
/etc/auto.direct:


2. I do not have "/- /etc/auto.direct" in auto.master since it gets created by default while adding an automountlocation.

# cat /etc/auto.master | grep -v "#"
/ipashare 	/etc/auto.pune

# cat /etc/auto.direct 
/share 	-rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534 bumblebee.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com:/usr/share/man

# cat /etc/auto.pune 
*       -rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534 bumblebee.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com:/tmp


3. # ipa automountlocation-import pune /etc/auto.master 
Imported maps:
Added auto.pune

Imported keys:
Added /ipashare to auto.master
Added * to auto.pune


Actual results:
Importing /etc/auto.master does not detect and import /etc/auto.direct

# ipa automountlocation-tofiles pune
/etc/auto.master:
/-	/etc/auto.direct
/ipashare	/etc/auto.pune
---------------------------
/etc/auto.direct:             <<<<<<<<<<<<
---------------------------
/etc/auto.pune:
*	-rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534 bumblebee.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com:/tmp


Expected results:
Should detect and import /etc/auto.direct

Additional info:
The only work-around I could figure out is

# ipa automountkey-del pune auto.master --key="/-" --info=auto.direct
--------------------------
Deleted automount key "/-"
--------------------------

# ipa automountmap-del pune auto.direct
-----------------------------------
Deleted automount map "auto.direct"
-----------------------------------

# cat /etc/auto.master | grep -v "#"
/- 	/etc/auto.direct
/ipashare 	/etc/auto.pune


# ipa automountlocation-import pune /etc/auto.master 
Imported maps:
Added auto.direct
Added auto.pune

Imported keys:
Added /- to auto.master
Added /ipashare to auto.master
Added * to auto.pune
Added /share to auto.direct            <<<<<<<<<<<<


# ipa automountlocation-tofiles pune
/etc/auto.master:
/-	/etc/auto.direct
/ipashare	/etc/auto.pune
---------------------------
/etc/auto.direct:

Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2011-08-05 09:01:31 UTC 
I don't think this is a bug? In automountlocation-import operation we import all maps/keys that are in given /etc/auto.master file. However, mapping "/- auto.direct" was not in auto.master in the first case and thus it was not loaded. When you added the mapping "/- auto.direct" to /etc/auto.master, the import of auto.direct map worked.

It seems inconsistent to me to import auto.direct file contents since it does not have a mapping in the imported auto.master file. After all, autofs didn't consider /etc/auto.direct when running from the local files either, did it?
Comment 4 Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2011-08-05 10:29:15 UTC 
# cat /etc/auto.master 
/- 	/etc/auto.direct 	
/ipashare 	/etc/auto.pune 


# ipa automountlocation-import pune /etc/auto.master
ipa: ERROR: key /- already exists

Since the error message is key "/-" already exists by default I removed "/-     /etc/auto.direct" key from /etc/auto.master and tried importing again.

Since the location already had the direct map in it created by default I expect /etc/auto.direct to be imported automatically.
Comment 5 Rob Crittenden 2011-08-05 12:42:28 UTC 
Ok, the error here is that the contents of a map were ignored if the map already existed in IPA. We should make an exception for auto.direct since we pre-create it in each location. The error is not that a file not mentioned in auto.master was not imported.
Comment 6 Martin Kosek 2011-08-05 13:12:10 UTC 
What if there are already some automountkeys in auto.direct if we add the exception? We would have to either overwrite the old automountkeys or ignore the colliding imported ones.
Comment 7 Rob Crittenden 2011-08-05 13:15:24 UTC 
I think the rule now (and we're hitting it) is to ignore duplicates. So if we only ignore /- as a duplicate I think we'll be ok. Note that there can be multiple /- in an auto.master, we should handle that too.
