==> Regarding [autofs] Intermittant problems mounting with automounter; David
Meleedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> adds:
david.meleedy> codered-70: cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux
david.meleedy> WS release 3 (Taroon Update 3) codered-71: uname -a Linux
david.meleedy> codered.spd.analog.com 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Wed Aug 18 20:48:55
david.meleedy> EDT 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
david.meleedy> We are mounting from a netapp filer:
aflac> version
david.meleedy> NetApp Release 6.4.2: Mon Sep 15 12:35:28 PDT 2003
david.meleedy> Here are the versions of the automounter and kernel we are
david.meleedy> using:
david.meleedy> codered-65: rpm -qa | grep autofs autofs-4.1.3-12
david.meleedy> codered-66: rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.4.21-20.EL
david.meleedy> We set up automounter variables in the following way:
david.meleedy> codered-67: more /etc/sysconfig/autofs
david.meleedy> LOCALOPTIONS="-DSITE=nwd_ -DARCH=x86_64 -DOSREL=redhat3"
david.meleedy> We have an /etc/auto.master file that invokes a perl script
david.meleedy> that returns the value of the mount location given a key.
david.meleedy> codered-130: cat /etc/auto.master | grep cpd /cpd
david.meleedy> /etc/auto.cpd hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,vers=3
david.meleedy> Here is some sample output from that script: codered-131:
david.meleedy> /etc/auto.cpd X11R6
david.meleedy> aflac,aflac-171:/vol/vol1/cpd/${SITE}${ARCH}_${OSREL}/&
david.meleedy> codered-132: /etc/auto.cpd inet
david.meleedy> aflac,aflac-171:/vol/vol1/cpd/${SITE}${ARCH}_${OSREL}/&
david.meleedy> I should also mention that I simplified the output from our
david.meleedy> perl script, removing one of the host names that was
david.meleedy> separated by a comma, and the problem still occurred:
david.meleedy> codered-132: /etc/auto.cpd inet
david.meleedy> aflac:/vol/vol1/cpd/${SITE}${ARCH}_${OSREL}/&
david.meleedy> Now during the problem this is what it looks like... first
david.meleedy> one of the directories can be mounted:
david.meleedy> codered-133: cd /cpd/X11R6 codered-134: df . Filesystem
david.meleedy> 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
david.meleedy> aflac:/vol/vol1/cpd/nwd_x86_64_redhat3/X11R6 47185920
david.meleedy> 41362456 5823464 88% /cpd/X11R6
david.meleedy> and then another one from the same filer, same export
david.meleedy> permissions, same directory permissions gets the following
david.meleedy> error:
david.meleedy> codered-135: cd /cpd/inet /cpd/inet: No such file or
david.meleedy> directory
david.meleedy> then later.... it mysteriously starts working.
david.meleedy> codered-137: cd /cpd/inet codered-138: df . Filesystem
david.meleedy> 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
david.meleedy> aflac:/vol/vol1/cpd/nwd_x86_64_redhat3/inet 47185920
david.meleedy> 41362456 5823464 88% /cpd/inet
david.meleedy> Here's one that uses less automounter variables:
david.meleedy> codered-61: /etc/auto.cpd usr
david.meleedy> aflac,aflac-171:/vol/vol1/cpd/${SITE}& codered-62: cd
david.meleedy> /cpd/usr /cpd/usr: No such file or directory.
david.meleedy> and later it works again:
david.meleedy> codered-68: cd /cpd/usr codered-69: df . Filesystem
david.meleedy> 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
david.meleedy> aflac:/vol/vol1/cpd/nwd_usr 47185920 41362456 5823464 88%
david.meleedy> /cpd/usr
david.meleedy> Any ideas what is going on here?
Is there any information in the logs? I would hope so.
