Further investigation revealed that in my case autofs was not racing with statd, but rather with nis (client daemon): bug 569757 and bug 570513. The workaround #15 appeared to work in some cases, because it introduced a small delay into autofs init script, which gave time for the nis daemon to start before autofs needed it.
I sympathize with other frustrated users of Ubuntu. I recently installed lucid on 9 machines (servers and workstations), none of which was able to boot correctly without extensive fiddling with init scripts, due to various Upstart-related problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573919 Title: autofs doesn't work with lucid -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
