---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 11 Nov 2003 20:51:57 +0800 From: Ian Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ANNOUNCE] autofs v4 beta3
Status ------ I'm hoping that this will be the last beta of 4.1.0. I expect to release 4.1.0 final and corresponding kernel module kit within a week or so. The only bug reports I have had relate to multi-mount problems and this beta includes updates for them as far as they can be fixed at this stage. This leaves one outstanding problem with multi-mount maps. The senario is that the daemon cannot remount a manualy umounted multi-mount entry until after the following expire event. This is due kernel module and daemon not knowing the umount has occured and consequently not cleaning up afterward. This causes the kernel module to return a longer path than it should which cannot be matched in the map. I hope to be able to fix this a some time in the future. In the mean time it is necessary to let the daemon do its thing and all should be OK. A reported problem with the documentation regarding the mailing list subscription instructions is also not yet corrected. Sorry, I'll get it done by the time of the final release. Packages -------- As usual the packages can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4 They are: autofs-4.1.0-beta3.tar.[bz2|gz] autofs4-2.4-module-20031109.tar.[bz2|gz] Additionally there is an autofs-4.1.0-beta3.src.rpm. This has been included because the rpmbuild -tb command will not work properly on the tar with this release. Please don't try as the spec file in the tar is out of date. Use the src rpm instead. -- ,-._|\ Ian Kent / \ Perth, Western Australia *_.--._/ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] v Web: http://themaw.net/ _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
