I can also confirm this bug. I am using Lenny on ARM but see exactly the same symptons.
Mtab is: rootfs / auto rw 0 0 tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 procbususb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 tmpfs /evolution_info tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 164.178.58.164:/arm /arm nfs rw,nolock,addr=164.178.58.164 0 0 automount(pid1246) /nfs/mss autofs rw,fd=5,pgrp=1246,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0 automount(pid1296) /nfs/evo05 autofs rw,fd=5,pgrp=1296,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0 i.e. root is on a local jffs2 flash device. Mount folders are removed upon exit but not created when automounter starts. There is no message except the usual automount failed to create iautofs directory in the log. Why is it unable to make the directory ? I am puzzled why this bug hasnt received more attention, I can't imagen many debian servers living without autofs. Note that I dont see this problem on any of my Ubuntu servers (8.04, 9.10 etc). Cheers Gertjan __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.
