Shares are defined in an LDAP server using the NisMap schema. Directories are mounted in the stations using autofs. In openSUSE 12.1 this configuration worked flawlessly. Autofs was able to automatically detect that the NFS server was v4. In openSUSE 12.2 all works correctly (LDAP server, autofs ldap configuration etc.) up to the actual mount operation. There autofs only tries a NFSv3 transaction and fails (silently!). I had to activate the debug log output in autofs to find the error reports contained in the first attachment. Upon error, the local (virtual?) directory entry for the failed attempt mount has its permissions corrupted. Its listing dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 8 10:30 ctibirna becomes d????????? ? ? ? ? ? ctibirna The workaround was to modify the autofs entry in LDAP so that the nisMapEntry forces nfs4. nisMapEntry: serveur:/home/users/ctibirna became nisMapEntry: -fstype=nfs,vers4 serveur:/home/users/ctibirna This was not required in 12.1. For what is worth our NFS server is a Fedora 12 installation over which we have no control and which didn't change in any way for the last 18 months. Also, we have many openSUSE 12.1 workstations that continue to work correctly (so the problem is surely with the autofs installed from the default openSUSE 12.2 package). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure an NFS (v4 only) server and export a share from it 2. Configure an LDAP server to define a NisMap mount information for that share 3. Configure autofs in openSUSE 12.2 and point it to the LDAP server for it configurations 4. Try to mount the NFS4 share (cd /local/share_dir) Actual Results: Mounting fails, local share directory has its permissions corrupted. No error message whatsoever is given by default. Expected Results: Mount failing should at least give a proper error message. Mounting should not fail, NFSv4 should be automatically detected (as in openSUSE 12.1). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
