Hello,

I'm having a problem that I think is related to autofs; I apologize in
advance if it isn't.    I have a cluster with two partitions, /home/cw
and /misc_data, that are automounted to all nodes in the cluster. 
There is a symbolic link, /home/cw/DATA3D, that points to
/misc_data/cw/DATA3D.  Most of the time this link works without a
problem.  When I run code that writes to /home/cw/DATA3D, however, it
crashes, complaining that there is no such file or directory.  If I
log in to the node and ls -l  /misc_data_cw, it gives me a flashing
red name for DATA3D as if it is a broken link, even though the rest of
the partition is mounted and acting normally.  Furthermore, I can
avoid the whole problem by logging in to the node before the job runs
and entering  /misc_data/cw/DATA3D.  We didn't have this problem  when
we were running RedHat 3.3; it's only since we upgraded to 4.0 (with
autofs-4.1.3-155) that this has shown up.

Any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Chris
