There is a bug in autofs 3.1.1 with linux 2.1.122. If you manually mount
a
filesystem onto it's mount point as specified in the automount map, it
hangs.
For example, if I have this in my /etc/auto.vol:
floppy -fstype=vfat,user :/dev/fd0
And do a mount /dev/fd0 /vol/floppy, I get this in my process list:
100 0 483 481 15 0 852 288 down_failed D ? 0:00
mount
-- this is the mount spawned by automount.
100 0 480 76 9 0 856 292 end S 1 0:00
mount
-- this is the manually spawned mount.
What is probably happening is the first mount is locking /dev/fd0, and
the
second attempts to access it. It waits for the first one, which won't
exit
until the second one is done.
