From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020916 Description of problem: The autofs(5) man page gives a list of examples for possible entries to the automounter maps. One of these contains options other than -fstype which are nonetheless prefixed with a dash. Contrary to the Solaris automounter, however, the dash must not be present on Linux. This is stated in the auto.master(5) man page and also confirmed by my experiments. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-3.1.7-28 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Following the example from the man page: % /usr/sbin/automount /tmp yp auto.home -rsize=8192,wsize=8192,rw,intr,soft,bg % ls /tmp/ansgar >/dev/null % mount |grep tmp Actual Results: automount(pid27534) on /tmp type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=27534,minproto=2,maxproto=3) zenon:/ush4/ansgar on /tmp/ansgar type nfs (rw,addr=134.99.64.132) Expected Results: (removing the dash yields the following:) automount(pid27568) on /tmp type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=27568,minproto=2,maxproto=3) zenon:/ush4/ansgar on /tmp/ansgar type nfs (rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,soft,bg,addr=134.99.64.132) Additional info:
