[Bug 65499] Re: Autofs gives spurious No such file or directory with lots of NFS mounts, breaking a typical use pattern

We've also seen this bug (looping through automounted user home directories leads to errors after about the first 100 mounts). Surprisingly, this seems to be related to automount defaulting to using tcp instead of udp for its nfs mounts (nfs documentation claims udp is the default, but with autofs

Amending my prior comment: I stand by the two suggested work-arounds, but retract my theory that the problem has to do with how many TCP sockets are in TIME_WAIT. If you google autofs TIME_WAIT and autofs nfs bindresvport address already in use and autofs can't read superblock (the latter two

Hi Kees, Thanks for your prompt attention. Just to clarify my possible misunderstanding, does Status: New = Invalid mean this won't get fixed in Hardy? Hardy is supposed to be an LTS release and we plan to stick with it for a couple years, so this being already fixed in the development release
