Hi.
I am running several machine with Red Hat 5.2 and autofs 3.1.3,
and have rather big problems with autofs/NFS. Especially for maps
referencing submounts ('-fstype=autofs') the automounter sometimes
stops working after some time.
We are running the Linux machines as NFS clients with an AIX-NFS server,
and, independently of autofs, this combination does practically
not work (*very* slow connection, the file contents are sometimes corrupted
when writing
to the server!) since we have upgraded to the 2.2.1 kernel. Hence, it is not
quite clear
if the hanging automounter are due to an autofs or due to an NFS problem.
I would be interested to hear if other people are able to run Linux 2.2.x as
clients in combination with an AIX file server.
