does this list cover autofs? i didn't seem to find much discussion of it
in the archives i've discovered so far. but i also can't seem to find the
real author of the code, so i'm not sure where to turn.
here's my issue:
redhat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36, autofs tools 3.1.1-9. we use nis for auto_home
and use lots of symlinks. i've found that there is a 256 symlink limit
compiled into the system and i'll probably need to bump that up, but right
now i'm running into a problem where it seems to be losing track of
symlinks that have been removed. after running for a few days the kernel
starts return enospc when trying to create a new symlink, and from doing
an 'ls -i' i can see from the inode numbers that it thinks that a lot of
symlink slots are in use, but there are only 10-15 links active at that
time.
% ls -i /home
553650177 deimos.0 4 joey
52 phobos.0 85 www.live-urban.com
83 www.redcab.com 75 www.revlabs.com
65 www.salvage.net
% ls /home/jason
GNUstep mail nsmail
% ls -i /home
553650177 deimos.0 98 jason
4 joey 52 phobos.0
85 www.live-urban.com 83 www.redcab.com
75 www.revlabs.com 65 www.salvage.net
see, it used inode 98 for /home/jason when it really should have been 2.
any pointers would be appreciated.
