Same as in mine. Server's up, but automount is locking up solid. trying to access the share, or links pointing to anything on it also lock up and can't be killed.

Another machine running .36 right now, is playing music off the same share, and this machine doesn't lock up at all when running .36 as well. Tried 2.6.37-rc1 and now -rc3. -- Thomas Fjellstrom [email protected] _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
