I frequently end up with a broken mtab. This results in a message like: mount(nfs): warning: /home/stueken is already mounted
I'm using a SuSE-10.1 x86_64-smp system with a 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp kernel. After I read about new patches to solve some mtab locking problems I upgraded from autofs-4.1.4-23 to autofs-4.1.4-37, but the mtab corruption still occurs. Seems the problem became even worse since a mount request sometimes takes about 5 seconds (due to some LDAP configuration problems) while a bunch of other mount requests are coming in. In addition this is an SMP system. Should I consider to update my kernel, too? Unfortunately I could not convince my sysads to do so, as they are afraid of even more problems with newer kernels... I noticed the upcoming autofs5. Should I wait for it? thanks for advice, - Dieter. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
