One question I had for you guys happened to us when we were moving our subnets to an internal 10. net. We were using autofs version 3 on redhat 8, and I haven't had a chance to test this with version 4 yet, but the problem might still exist.
If the redhat client using automounter had mounted a directory from some server (so the mount was active), and then we changed the IP address of the server, the automounter would hang on that mount forever after. In fact we couldn't even do "init 6", we had to do "reboot -f" to get the client working again. To compare, with our Solaris machines, we didn't have this problem. The new IP address was discovered and the mount continued to work. So I'm not really sure if this is an automount issue, or a mount command issue, but I figured you guys would be the right ones to ask. I definitely think this issue should be fixed, it's not that uncommon to move servers to new IP addresses. Thanks! -Dave ________________________________________________________________________ David Meleedy Analog Devices, Inc.
