Hi
I found this address in the /etc/init.d/autofs file
Is this the correct address for autofs bug reports?
If not could you please point me in the right direction.
I have noticed a problem with autofs-3.1.7-28 installed on
Redhat release 7.3.
The function getmounts has code to screen out duplicate directories
The problem is in the code fragment
-a "echo `echo "knownmaps" | grep $dir/`" = "" ]
This greps for the map mount directory in the list of know maps and skips
the map if it finds anything.
Unfortunately it can't distinguish between the maps
/cr/pc pcsomthing.auto
/pc pcsomethingelse.auto
This caused a little confusing here as both maps had been working fine for
many years on our other Unix systems. I have solved the problem by
changing one of the map paths.
I haven't been about to think of a change to the grep arguments, which
would fix this problem without breaking of other legal but rare directory
names.
For example you could force grep to match a space before $dir
e.g. grep \ $dir
but this could break on directory names, which contain spaces.
Another approach would be for /etc/init.d/autofs start
To report any maps that were skipped and why.
All the best
