Hi all, Its been a long time, I know, but finally here is release 5.0.5. Once again there quite a lot of bug fixes. Known issues ============ - Quoted strings in the master map are still not yet handled. - There is a problem with "mount --move" in some releases of SuSE (perhaps other distributions as well) which can cause mounts to not be moved correctly resulting in /etc/mtab continually growing due to invalid entries. - When the active restart is being used it will happily re-connect a mount that is unresponsive, perhaps because the server is not responding. A forced expire (USR1 signal) should be enough to clean up. However, we have had reports mounts and umounts to down servers taking quite a while with recent kernels, I'm not sure how this will end up at this stage so we will need to persevere with this for now. autofs ====== The package can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5 It is autofs-5.0.5.tar.[gz|bz2] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.5.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.5.tar.gz See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and kernel requirements. Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates: 03/09/2009 autofs-5.0.5 ----------------------- - fix dumb libxml2 check - fix nested submount expire deadlock. - fix negative caching for non-existent map keys. - use CLOEXEC flag. - fix select(2) fd limit. - make hash table scale to thousands of entries (Paul Wankadia, Valerie Aurora Henson). - clear the quoted flag after each character from program map input. - use CLOEXEC flag for setmntent also. - fix hosts map use after free. - fix uri list locking (again). - check for stale SASL credentials upon connect fail. - add "forcestart" and "forcerestart" init script options to allow use of 5.0.3 strartup behavior if required. - always read entire file map into cache to speed lookups. - make MAX_ERR_BUF and PARSE_MAX_BUF use easier to audit. - make some easy alloca replacements (Valerie Aurora Henson). - update to configure libtirpc if present. - update to provide ipv6 name and address support. - update to provide ipv6 address parsing. - easy alloca replacements fix. - add check for alternate libxml2 library for libxml2 tsd workaround. - add check for alternate libtirpc library for libtirpc tsd workaround. - cleanup configure defines for libtirpc. - add WITH_LIBTIRPC to -V status report. - add nfs mount protocol default configuration option. - fix bad token declaration in master map parser. - fix return start status on fail. - fix double free in expire_proc(). - another easy alloca replacements fix. - add LSB init script parameter block. - fix file map lookup when reading included or nsswitch sources. - use misc device ioctl interface by default, if available. - fix call restorecon when misc device file doesn't exist. - clear rpc client on lookup fail. - fix lsb init script header. - fix memory leak reading master map. - fix st_remove_tasks() locking. - reset flex scanner when setting buffer. - zero s_magic is valid. - use percent hack for master map keys. - use intr option as hosts mount default. - fix kernel includes. - dont umount existing direct mount on master re-read. - fix incorrect shutdown introduced by library relaod fixes. - improve manual umount recovery. - dont fail on ipv6 address when adding host. - always read file maps multi map fix. - always read file maps key lookup fixes. - use srv query for domain dn. - fix not releasing resources when using submounts. - fix notify mount message path. - remount we created mount point fix. - fix double free in sasl_bind(). - mannual umount recovery fixes. - fix map type info parse error. - fix an RPC fd leak. - don't block signals we expect to dump core. - fix pthread push order in expire_proc_direct(). - fix libxml2 non-thread-safe calls. - fix direct map cache locking. - fix dont umount existing direct mount on reread. - update kernel patches.
