Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3-4
Severity: important
Recent updates to autofs (in the past week or so) make it fail to work
on two separate systems here. No manual configuration changes were made
prior to investigating the problem, though I've tweaked a few things
since.
Local systems are configured such that symlinks in specified locations
(/mnt/..., /net/<server>/<share>) are used for mounts. Both removable
media (floppy, cdrom) and network shares (Samba) are accessed via
autofs. None currently work. I find a few possibly related bugs
through the BTS (whitespace parsing, failure to umount, etc.), but none
entirely matching my situation. See:
#279898: autofs: Does not umount unused filesystems
#280120: autofs: Broken parsing on tabs after options
#280234: Another whitespace handling bug - program maps this time
The autofs startup script output strikes me as questionable, and I
suspect that there's a parsing error in determining commandline
arguments within the script, particularly with $cmd, $rest, and
$pidfile.
Kernel is: Linux version 2.4.25-1-686 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version
3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)) #3 Wed Apr 14 21:56:44 EST 2004
Hrm. That's a tad stale, wonder if 2.6 might work better. Updating
now. Doubtful as other system is running 2.6.7-1-686 and exhibits
similar problems.
Sample of locally-used symlinks:
$ ls -l /mnt

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Apr 1 2004 floppy -> /var/autofs/misc/floppy

Disagreed:
- It's a change in behavior.
- It's not documented.
Either revert prior behavior (preferred) or note change in behavior.
Preferably with a preinst/postinst diagnostic script to look for
potentially problematic /etc/auto.* entries.
Peace.
