I've browsed the sources, but couldn't easily find the problem.
I'm sure this problem has been resolved long ago but I can't remember. It may be the check for whether an entry is a multi-mount or not that is at fault but I have no idea what patches are included in SLES10. This pre-analysis is really something that the downstream package maintainer needs to do so that I can hopefully make some sense of what may or may not be included in the package already. You might check to see if http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/autofs-4.1.4-multi-parse-fix.patch has been applied. > > The problem is that "server:/foo" which should be mounted to > "/net/server/foo" is > actually mounted to "/net/server" (with "foo's content" in "server") > > Here's my trace: > > automount[24703]: lookup(program): server -> > -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid > /foo server:/foo > automount[24703]: parse(sun): core of entry: > options=fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid, loc=/foo server:/foo > automount[24703]: parse(sun): mounting root /net, mountpoint server, what > /foo > server:/foo, fstype nfs, options hard,intr,nodev,nosuid > Nov 9 16:56:47 rksapas03 automount[24703]: mount(nfs): root=/net name=server > what=/foo server:/foo, fstype=nfs, options=hard,intr,nodev,nosuid > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): nfs options="hard,intr,nodev,nosuid", > nosymlink=0, > ro=0 > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): host /foo: lookup failure > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): winner = server local = 0 > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): from /foo server:/foo elected server:/foo > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): calling mkdir_path /net/server > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): calling mount -t nfs -s -o > hard,intr,nodev,nosuid > server:/foo /net/server > automount[24703]: mount(nfs): mounted server:/foo on /net/server > > > (Actual names replaced for clarity) > > Regards, > Ulrich > P.S.
