Folks,
We are running the standard 2.2.12 SMP kernel/no patches
and are getting "occasionally" some boot problems from
autofs.
We mount several files systems in our auto.master
====
/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 28800
/usr/local /etc/auto.local -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
/pub/comwww /etc/auto.comwww -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 --timeout 600
/pub/cgi-bin /etc/auto.cgi -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
/export/lathe /etc/auto.lathe -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
/home /etc/auto.home -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
/export/anvil /etc/auto.anvil -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
/export/torch /etc/auto.torch -n,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
===
on startup sometimes one or two of the automounter starts will
"sometimes" fail. Today we saw the following:
=====
Sep 14 12:31:25 lathe autofs: Starting automounter:
Sep 14 12:31:25 lathe automount[1025]: >> mount: fs type autofs not supported by kernel
Sep 14 12:31:25 lathe automount[1025]: /pub/comwww: mount failed!
Sep 14 12:31:25 lathe rc: Starting autofs succeeded
=====
The mount of /pub/comwww/ failed. We then just put
in the automount command on the command line and it started fine.
Is there some type of timing/locking problem when a bunch of
autmount processes are started at once?
Is there some experiment we can run to delay the processing
of each mount?
Best regards!
John
