Ahh, excellent, now if this could be included in the distribution or
at least a link to it in the man pages of the distribution we would
probably make someones life a little easier.
I haven't checked all of the HOWTO, but methinks there's no info on
how it ties into the kernel and some on the inner workings of the
beast... (Not that it necessarily should be in the HOWTO.) And yes
there's always TFS, but if I would check the source for every program
I wanted to figure out, I'd do nothing else. Linus', and others,
attitude of not documenting anything either inside our outside the
code I find kind of childish, 'This is mine, mine, mine, and if you
don't understand it don't mess with it...' My company (were I work,
that is, not own.) is porting Linux to our new CPU and we would enjoy
it even more if the comments in it weren't from the beginning of the
90s... and incorrect... and outdated...

I'll take your word on it. I moved a couple of the most used mounts
from AMD into /etc/fstab so, as I said, it just crashed a couple of
months apart. I've only used autofs for a couple of months now and it
has only crashed once yet. And I'm sorry that I can't elaborate much
on this specific bug. (I had a disk (S) mounted with autofs on the
client (C), and on the server I messed around with mounting another
local disk (S2) under S, unmounting it, mounting it somewhere else on
the server, making a link from under S to it. Somewhere along the way
autofs got screwed up and the S still existed but was empty. If I
mounted S in another autofs path it worked but the original path
wouldn't work. Had to shut down autofs, unmount everything, and
restart it)
By the way hpa, please, please, please, more debug options settable at
runtime, like in AMD. And not something you should recompile to
enable. If they're in there I might have the energy to enable them to
see if I can figure out what goes wrong. If I have to recompile, I
probably won't do it and the bug will stay in there til someone with
more energy and interest finds it... Then again, it didn't help
AMD, so perhaps it's no use...
>huh ??? other versions than what Peter is maintaining ???
Dunno, I didn't check the contents. I found the ftp-site above before
I got that desperate.
Damn, my mails do get long. Guess it's the poet in me...
