Subject: autofs5: does not support recursive mount Package: autofs5 Version: 5.0.4-3.2 Severity: normal Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line *** Autofs on Debian fails when there is a dependancy between two automounts. For example, it fails if /auto/a is a bind mount of /auto/b , both being automounted. I was hit by this bug because while trying to do bind mounts of the root of autmounted NFS servers. It appears that the bug has been fixed upstream : - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/storage/autofs/autofs.git;a=commitdiff;h=6c21fce31efe5206355af2e03422708cff29d501 - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/autofs-5.0.5-check-for-path-mount-location-in-generic-module.patch Applying this patch worked for me. Apparently redhat also did so (redhat bug 537403 ). Could you please think about applying this patch to the Debian version ?
