Cannot reproduce this on precise, at least (which has the same autofs version as oneiric).
I used 3 hosts. Two had nfs-server installed, one had autofs4 and nfs- client. The two nfs servers had a file /mnt/whoami ('master1' on one and 'master2' on the other) and in /etc/exports had /mnt 10.55.60.39(ro) I first verified that I could mount this on the client by hand. Then, on the client, I created a /srv/mnt directory, /etc/auto.master with: /- /etc/auto.mnt --timeout=600 and /etc/auto.mnt with: /srv/mnt -fstype=nfs4,proto=tcp,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 10.55.60.33(1),10.55.60.59(5):/mnt restarted autofs. Then 'cat /srv/mnt/whoami' on the client showed 'master1'. Unmounted /srv/mnt on the client, and did 'service nfs- kernel-server stop' on master1. Then 'cat /srv/mnt/whoami' on the client showed 'master2'. Will try on lucid next. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607039 Title: NFS automount using replicated servers doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/607039/+subscriptions -- 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
