Re: [autofs] auotfs v4

I am using RH 7.3 with the 2.4.20 kernel. It doen't have the patch. But I don't need it at the moment. I need to figure out why my /proc/mounts file is filling up with the same mount points. My problem is a NetApp. Not because it's a NetApp, rather I believe it's the way volumes are exported. > showmount -e fs7 Export list for fs7: /vol/vol0/systems   (everyone) /vol/vol0/muse      (everyone) /vol/vol0/avidcache (everyone) /vol/vol0           (everyone) What I see in /proc/mounts: fs7:/vol/vol0/muse /nfs/hosts3/fs7/vol/vol0/muse nfs rw,v2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=fs7 0 0 fs7:/vol/vol0/avidcache /nfs/hosts3/fs7/vol/vol0/avidcache nfs rw,v2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=fs7 0 0 fs7:/vol/vol0/systems /nfs/hosts3/fs7/vol/vol0/systems nfs rw,v2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=fs7 0 0 But I don't see: /vol/vol0 I believe autofs is expiring and unmounting fs7:/vol/vol0 and getting confused as what to do with the directories under that root vol.

It means that you have more than 256 mounts that don't have a block-device back-end. These include NFS, autofs, procfs, sysfs... This is a known limitation in linux 2.4. You may want to try a patch like the following: http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/linux-2.4.19-pre7-unmaj.diff Most of the RedHat packaged kernels have this patch. What distro are you using? What version of autofs? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rhythm & Hues 5404 Jandy Place Los Angeles, CA 90066 Voice: 310 448-7763 Fax: 310 448-7600 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
