Hello, everyone. I have been using autofs since Debian Potato. Among other things, I use it to automount my cd/dvd drive and release/unmount it after 15 idle seconds. When I switched from Debian Woody to Sarge, the automount processes never expired the unused mount again.
I have tried 3 different hosts on Sarge with the same effect whether I use linux 2.6.15 with udev or 2.4.31 with devfs. I also tried using the older autofs3 protocol, but since it made no difference, I am using autofs4. Packages used: autofs 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2 mount: 2.12p-4sarge1 Using lsof, the directory tree looks ununsed by any processes. Using strace, the automount process sets the timeout by an ioctl(), but later polling of the kernel by ioctl() always returns -EAGAIN, meaning nothing is ready to be unmounted. I reduced my test setup to the simplest I could, even removing any symlinks in the device or mountpoint: ---vvv---/tmp/myautofile---vvv--- cdrw -fstype=auto,ro :/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd ---^^^---/tmp/myautofile---^^^--- # mkdir /tmp/remov # automount --debug --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_tmp_remov.pid --timeout=15 /tmp/remov file /tmp/myautofile # ls /tmp/remov/cdrw/ ... after mounting, shows directory of cdrw. ... time passes, nothing is using the cd. ... /tmp/remov/cdrw never unmounts. I welcome suggestions. Has there been a configuration change for autofs between Woody and Sarge that I missed?
