A great deal changed in 2.6.38 in the VFS. You really can't use 2.6.38 because there were a number of fixes that went in after this and I think the VFS code up to around 3.0 or 3.1 could have had this problem anyway. What your looking for is kernels with fs/namei.c:follow_automount() with this near the top of the function, which shouldn't cause this type of problem: /* We don't want to mount if someone's just doing a stat - * unless they're stat'ing a directory and appended a '/' to * the name. * * We do, however, want to mount if someone wants to open or * create a file of any type under the mountpoint, wants to * traverse through the mountpoint or wants to open the * mounted directory. Also, autofs may mark negative dentries * as being automount points. These will need the attentions * of the daemon to instantiate them before they can be used. */ if (!(flags & (LOOKUP_PARENT | LOOKUP_DIRECTORY | LOOKUP_OPEN | LOOKUP_CREATE | LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT)) && path->dentry->d_inode) return -EISDIR; But I'm seeing this with 3.4.9-2.fc16 which does have this in follow_automount() so that's a puzzle. > > ##

Other than that these look ok. snip ... I setup a simple map, auto.test, with a single key "this" to check this out and did an "strace -ff -o ls.trace /bin/ls --color=auto /test" against the 3.4.9-2.fc16 I currently have installed. Ignoring all the cruft, near the bottom we see: stat64("/test", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/test", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 getdents64(3, /* 3 entries */, 32768) = 72 lstat64("/test/this", 0x95aba40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) This is the problem I think, it should not attempt a mount and should return 0. I've only looked at the current upstream source so far and I can't see why this is happening. I've built upstream 3.5.4 so I can look at the actual source of the kernel I'm using to test.
