Hi all,

I have a question regarding the new version of autofs, specifically on "nosymlink".

   } else if (!nosymlink) {
       local = get_best_mount(whatstr, what, 0, 0);
       if (!*whatstr) {
           warn(MODPREFIX "no  host elected");
           return 1;
       }
       warn(MODPREFIX "from %s elected %s", what, whatstr);
   }

If "nosymlink" is not used get_best_mount tries to use a rpc nfsv2 ping via rpc_time, so if the NFS server does not support NFSV2, it does not seem to try using a NFSV3 ping and just bails out. Because of this i am not able to use autofs with a server which supports only NFSv3 unless i use "nosymlink" as the option. Will this be fixed so that the linux autofs will also try to do a NFSv3 ping in case NFSv2 ping fails??

Any help is muchly appreciated
Thx,
Satya
