https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232855 Summary: autofs does not map network paths consistently. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: phill@bio.warwick.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de This bug first manefested itself under 10.1, but is still present under 10.2 (downloaded iso). Autofs setup to automount NFS exported filesystems as in the default configuration under /net. A host that only exports one filesystem, will have the path trimmed to the first directory containg sub-directories, a host exporting multiple filesystems will not. As an example suppose machine1 exports :- /usr/people /tmp suppose machine2 exports /usr/people both have directories a,b,c under /usr/people On the machine mounting the following would be visible :- /net/machine1/tmp /net/machine1/usr/people/a /net/machine1/usr/people/b /net/machine1/usr/people/c /net/machine2/a /net/machine2/b /net/machine2/c This is clearly not consistent, and I considder it a bug as previous to version 10.x the behavior was to mount using the complete path. On investigation I managed to fix this problem by downloading the sourses for the autofsd from kernel.org and applying the autofs-4.1.4-multi-parse-fix.patch also from kernel.org Could this pease be addressed for future releases. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
