That confirms it's 2.4.27. That's correct behaviour as those particular hunks are included in the vanila source now. > > I haven't explicitly tested 2.4.25 for the same problem, but over the > course of several months I never had a 2.4.25 machine fill up > /var/log/syslog with these automount errors (with 2.4.27, the disk fills > up so rapidly that folks regularly ask me why their machine doesn't have > any space on /... basically have to "/etc/init.d/syslog stop" on these > hosts until I can correct the problem). I'm building a 2.4.27 kernel now on my Sparc Ultra 1 (yep it's going to take all day). I'll see what I can find out. As a side note. >From 2.4.27 you can use the kernel module build kit without having to rebuild your kernel. You do however need a set of kernel headers that correspond to the running kernel. Using this you can build, install and uninstall the updated module. That would be the autofs4-2.4-module-20040508.tar.gz on kernel.org. Ignore the mandatory patches as they are the ones already in 2.4.27.
