Description Larry O'Leary 2011-11-26 07:21:49 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a configuration in where I use autofs to mount an NFS4 share in a location such as /mnet/net/home01/home and then an autofs bind mount making /mnt/net/home01/home/loleary/workspace available at /home/loleary/workspace. When attempting to access either mount, autofs hangs and must be killed.

/etc/auto.master contains the following entry:

/-	/etc/auto.direct


/etc/auto.direct contains the following two entries:

/mnt/net/home01/home	-fstype=nfs4,rw,nodev,nosuid,sync,_netdev,proto=tcp,retry=1,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr home01:/home
#/home/loleary/workspace -fstype=bind :/mnt/net/home01/home/loleary/workspace


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.6-3.fc16.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure autofs to mount NFS4 share 
2. Configure autofs to perform a bind mount of a sub-directory of the autofs mounted NFS4 share in a new location such as /home/user/mybindmount
3. Restart autofs
4. Attempt to perform and ls of /home/user/mybindmount
  
Actual results:
ls command never returns and must be interrupted with CTRL+C. Additionally, any attempt to access any autofs mount (even ones that are not bind mounts) never return.

Expected results:
ls should return the appropriate directory listing of the sub-directory of the NFS4 mount.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 13:54:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 14:49:45 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
