Hi,
I've been struggling to figure out why autofs does not appear to unmount many mount points. I have more than 150 entries in a map file and most of these entries get mounted when I log into a Gnome session and never seem to ever get unmounted. This happened under RedHat 8.0 (autofs-3.1.7-33) and still happens on SuSE 9.0 (autofs-3.1.7-717). I'm guessing that Nautilus is doing this. Is anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to prevent or debug this? I can provide more details if anyone is interested.
Bit unfortunate they never umount.
The problem is that Nautilus scans the directory if/when it notices umount activity. This causes a remount. I couldn't find a way to trun it off. The list of directories to scan is help in a file (I can't remember where now) and I was able to stop it, to some extent, by cleaning it out and changing the modes on the file (for non-root login anyway).
I started working on this some time ago but did not get anywhere before other things took priority. To fix this means digging into Nautilius. A significant task in itself. The people on the Nautilus list would probably help but they would need a significant time investment from an autofs development person. Any volunteers?
Although I am not really an autofs development person, I would really like this remedied, so I will volunteer. Where can I get started?
