Hello, I noticed that recent versions of AutoFS are creating more load on NFS servers and on the network. Further investigation revealed that since commit 15fcfcd29b4 (autofs-5.0.6 - reinstate singleton mount probe), AutoFS started to probe the proximity of NFS servers even when there's only one server hosting the volume. The call sequence is: prune_host_list() -> get_vers_and_cost() -> get_nfs_info() (twice) In some circumstances, each call to get_nfs_info() will send more than 10 requests to the server. This gets out of control quickly if the user triggers, lets say, 100 mounts simultaneously. Is it possible to revert this change and fix the timeout issue in other way? If not, I think it will be necessary to implement a positive cache for reachable servers to reduce the amount of probing.
