Hi All- I'm having this problem with autofs under CentOS 4.4 linux that I was hoping someone could shed some light on... Basically I have a bunch of auto.* tables set up in /etc. They work fine. What does not work fine is that when someone tries to automount a directory that doesn't exist, the command hangs forever, and has to be killed. For instance:
% cd /projects/foo [hangs] because /projects/foo is unavailable. Now let me make it a bit more complex: The machine I'm mounting on is on a private network (10.x.x.x), the nfs server is on a public network. There is no NAT routing to the public network. I was assuming that because the machine could not reach the NFS server it would just fail or timeout, not hang the terminal... I know this is an odd setup, but it is the way it is and I'm trying to deal with it. :) Am I out of luck? Or can I tweak something to make this just fail or timeout? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Regards, erich _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
