Using autofs 4.0.0pre10, if one filesystem in a multimount request fails, then
no additional mount attempts (for the remaining items in the multimount list)
are made. Although it's certainly true that if host:/usr can't be mounted
then host:/usr/spool will fail as well, there are also many cases where
additional mounts would succeed (e.g. host:/usr is unrelated to host:/var).
When using autofs multimounts with the "showmount" application to mount
everything available on a host, this case may well appear if one of the
exported filesystems does not provide access to your host but the others do.
It appears that removing two lines from parse_sun.c (662-663) where it says
if (rv)
break;
this problem could be solved.
Is there any reason *not* to remove these lines?
Thanks,
Derrell
