Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.4+debian-2+b1
Severity: normal
After an hour of messing around I found on a LinuxQuestions thread about RHEL4
that there is a setting /etc/defaults/autofs (the Debian location) that
disables direct mounts. And if direct mounts are disabled there, and you
configure one, it fails silently. There are no errors, nothing says, "Direct
mounts are disabled, please see /usr/share/doc/autofs/README.direct", it just
fails. Not only that, but syslog often shows:
automount[1707]: bad map format: found indirect, expected direct exiting
Which leads you to think that you made a mistake in the configuration, which
is not the case.
Please fix this. autofs should complain loudly to STDOUT and syslog if you
try to make a direct mount when direct mounts are disabled, and should tell
you to look at the readme file and /etc/default/autofs.
