Hi all, Time to consolidate again. I've decided to consolidate before working on further code cleanups as there have been a lot of changes and a couple of kernel module updates. Known issues ============ There is a problem that's proving really hard to track down. It results in a "not found" error when a mount and an expire is happening at the same time for a given mount. Needless to say it's also quite hard to make it happen and even harder to get any info at all about what's causing it as introducing debug print statements seems to make it to go away. Recursively referenced bind mounts weren't working so I've attempted to fix it. I'm unable to break the fix myself but Matt Bernstein reports that it works only on some clients. I hope that getting wider exposure for this will shake out the problem. Please find a little time to check this out. autofs ====== The package can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5 It is autofs-5.0.1-rc2.tar.[gz|bz2] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.1-rc2.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.1-rc2.tar.gz See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and kernel requirements.
