We are running autofs4.1.0 with 2.4.22 on about 100 machines, and 2.6.5 on about 100 machines with all of the the kernel patches for both.
What is autofs's behavior trying to cross symlinks when you type 'ls'? autofs seems to time out a lot faster than AMD for example.
We are occasionally seeing problems timeouts trying to cross symlinks. If I type 'ls' it might show
abc -> /net/emc/u11
as a broken symlink
but if I type 'ls /net/emc/u11' the symlink comes back.
My auto.master line contains /net/emc auto.emc --timeout 3600 --ghost
my auto.emc line contains
u11 -rw,hard,intr,wsize=32768,rsize=32768,vers=3,proto=tcp,retry=2000,timeo=1000,retrans=500 emc1.bbn.com:/&
I know some of these options do not apply for 'tcp', but I did not know how autofs treated broken symlinks. I am not sure if this is an nfs problem or an automount problem. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric
