There were a couple of regressions fixed in 7.5 amount other things. I don't think there were updates to dependent packages that would cause problems in the subsequent RHEL releases (in fact there shouldn't be). Another question. When you see the problem has occurred did you check that automount is actually still running (IOW, did you check if it had crashed). Ian
