When /usr/local is NFS-mounted, autofs will cause the nfs module to be loaded, which will access /usr/local, which hangs while waiting for the nfs module to be loaded. Also see Fedora Bug #714023. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up /usr/local to be automounted via NFS (e.g. ln -s /netmount/local /usr plus the necessary maps). 2. Trigger the mount by accessing /usr/local, e.g. ls /usr/local. Actual Results: The mount process hangs: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 11858 0.0 0.0 35060 2660 ? D 11:09 0:00 /sbin/mount.nfs Every command accessing /usr/local also hangs (but killable). Expected Results: /usr/local mounted and accessible -- 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.
