Re: "Too many levels of symbolic links"

Addendum:

The error can be reproduced with this script (and /project/mariux32 being an automount point of course) :
---------------
#! /bin/sh

ls -ld /project/mariux32/.
unshare -m -- bash -c "sleep 6;ls -ld /project/mariux32/.;echo exit..." &
kill -USR1  `cat /var/run/autofs-running`
sleep 3
ls -ld /project/mariux32/.
wait
---------------

Output:

root:dose:/home/buczek/autofs/# ./test.sh
drwxrwsr-x 6 mx32prj mx32grp 56 Feb 24  2011 /project/mariux32/.
ls: cannot access /project/mariux32/.: Too many levels of symbolic links
drwxrwsr-x 6 mx32prj mx32grp 56 Feb 24  2011 /project/mariux32/.
exit...

And yes, the fileserver logs "authenticated unmount request" , but the (later!) ls succeeds anyway.
