Greetings.
In parse_sun.c, I notice that parse_mount() does not handle cases the
same way if there are multi mount points or not. Why is that? Why
isn't the single case treated as a single pass in the multi loop?
I ask this because I have a problem to report. But first, here is the
output of /etc/auto.net when querying a host with multiple mount
points and one with a single one.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root] /etc/auto.net server1
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
/export/archives server1:/export/archives \
/export/devel server1:/export/devel \
/export/users server1:/export/users
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root] /etc/auto.net obelix
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
/pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz
As you can see, there is not much diff between the two. I am running:
/usr/sbin/automount --debug --ghost --timeout 60 /net program
/etc/auto.net
The following happens in the single mount point case
(/var/log/messages; I removed the leading headers on each line to
protect the innocent):
: attempting to mount entry /net/obelix
: lookup(program): looking up obelix : lookup(program): obelix ->
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict /pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz
: parse(sun): expanded entry:
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict /pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz
: parse(sun): dequote("fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict") ->
fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict
: parse(sun): gathered options: fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict
: parse(sun): dequote("/pathxyz") -> /pathxyz : parse(sun):
dequote("obelix:/pathxyz") -> obelix:/pathxyz
: parse(sun): core of entry:
options=fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict, loc=/pathxyz
obelix:/pathxyz : parse(sun): mounting root >>/net<<, mountpoint
>>obelix<<, what >>/pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz<<, fstype >>nfs<<, options
>>hard,intr,nodev,nosuid<< : mount(nfs): root=/net name=obelix
what=/pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz, fstype=nfs, options=hard,intr,nodev,nosuid
: mount(nfs): nfs options="hard,intr,nodev,nosuid", nosymlink=0, ro=0
: mount(nfs): host /pathxyz: lookup failure
: mount(nfs): winner = obelix local = 0
: mount(nfs): winner = obelix local = 0
: mount(nfs): from /pathxyz obelix:/pathxyz elected obelix:/pathxyz
: mount(nfs): calling mkdir_path /net/obelix
: mount(nfs): calling mount -t nfs -s -o hard,intr,nodev,nosuid
obelix:/pathxyz /net/obelix
: >> nfs server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp
: mount(nfs): mounted obelix:/pathxyz on /net/obelix
Notice that host "/pathxyz" lookup failed. Obviously, since /pathxyz
is a path, not a hostname. The NFS share is being mounted, but as
/net/obelix, instead of the expected /net/obelix/pathxyz . There is a
bug somewhere, but I have not put my finger on it. But I come back to
my initial question: why is the single mount code different then the
multi mount code? Why not make the single case just a single loop
execution of the multi mount code? The multi code works fine, but not
the single code.
Any comments are welcomed.
BTW, Ian Kent, I cannot write to you directly. Somewhere my email is
being blocked ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Can you check this out?
