We have a system with an NIS yp home directory. Running a Whitebox distribution, so Redhatish, with vanilla 2.6.24 kernel, automounter 5.0.3 unpatched.
The typical configuration is a home directory automounted via NFS. Opening up two ssh terminals to a machine in question gives the following (as an example): Terminal 1: $ whoami sbiggs $ cd ~/lower_directory $ /bin/pwd /home/sbiggs/lower_directory $ Terminal 2 is a root prompt: # pkill -9 automount # Back to Terminal 1: $ /bin/pwd /home/sbiggs/lower_directory $ Then, on Terminal 2: # /etc/init.d/autofs start Starting automount: done. # Back to Terminal 1: $ /bin/pwd lower_directory $ Running automount -fd gives a log of it mounting /home as part of its startup. Does that throw away all of the mounts even if they are already mounted? Again at Terminal 1: $ cd . $ /bin/pwd /home/sbiggs/lower_directory $ Only as part of the "cd ." does automount mount "sbiggs" again. We are being plagued by this issue. We have a huge amount of automounted directories and at any given time, quite a few of them have the erroneous relative path/lost mount point CWD. Can anybody give any insight as to what to do about this? Is this a known bug?
