Package: autofs
Version: 5.0.7-3ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to access an autofs mounted resource that depends on another
autofs managed resource.
I.e. I try to open a truecrypt container that is located on a samba
fileshare.
Both are registered with autofs and both are initially not mounted.
When I try to access the truecrypt container it fails.
The autofs log says "no such file" for the cifs container and does not
try to mount the cifs resource automatically.
If I manually mount the cifs fileshare (or try to accesss this prior to
the truecrypt) it works.
After some research and communication with the autofs maintainer (Ian Kent)
I found out that in order for this to work autofs has to be configured
with the configure option
--disable-mount-locking is used.
Currently, autofs_5.0.7-3.debian does not use this option.
I contacted the autofs maintainer and he confirmed that
--disable-mount-locking should be used in the configure.
He believes that using this option causes no side effects and solves the
issue.
I filed this bug on ubuntu (Bug 1216610) and was told that the rules
came from debian and it should be corrected there.
Below you can find a patch for the rules file in autofs_5.0.7-3.debian
that adds the forementioned option:
