Still broken here, just like -1. Reverting to 5.1.3-4 fixes the problem immediately. I just just have a simple NFS mount.

Bodhi is disabling automatic push to stable due to negative karma. The maintainer may push manually if they determine that the issue is not severe.

@bojan, my testing on F27 indicates the opposite and AFAICT you have not provided information on your problem in a bug, please do so.

I can open a bug if you want, but this is a pretty straightforward regression for me. An NFS mount that works under 5.1.3-4 (and previous versions) simply stopped working under 5.1.4-1 and -4. Zero configuration changes on my end. Both server and client are running F27. What would you like me to put into the bug? Any specific diagnostic output?

User Icon iankent commented & provided feedback 6 years ago

I don't see that we have any other choice, there are some known problems with 5.1.3. Include a debug log of the problem occurring (preferably from the start up of autofs). These days it seems easiest to set "logging = debug" in /etc/autofs.conf and collect the log information with something along the lines of "journalctl -f 2>&1|tee autofs.log".

User Icon bojan commented & provided feedback 6 years ago

OK, here is what the problem is. I had this in my /etc/nsswitch.conf:

automount: files sss ldap

On my machine, neither sss nor ldap provide any auto mount points. This is all defined using regular files. So, I changed that to:

automount: files

And it worked. With 5.1.3-4, the other two were simply ignored. But, somehow, this extra bit of configuration confuses version 5.1.4.

Note that I do run both ldap and sss, but I have no auto mounts defined there. So, autofs should try that, find nothing and carry on, I guess. Particularly because the files bit is set up correctly.

I'm well aware of this type of problem, it is a side effect of resolving a different problem and has been difficult to handle, here is not the place to discus it.

User Icon bojan commented & provided feedback 6 years ago

I'm just a user. From my perspective, this is a regression. That's all I'm trying to say. Anyway, I have a workaround now, so don't worry about it.

User Icon iankent commented & provided feedback 6 years ago

The regression was introduced in 5.1.3, you just weren't affected.

User Icon bojan commented & provided feedback 6 years ago

Fair enough, but I can only report what I see on the system where I use autofs.

This update has reached 7 days in testing and can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes

We've had several reports of this change working ok. We've also had one report of it not working properly but the reporter wasn't able to follow up with a bug report. Hopefully pushing this to stable will flush out this problem.

Hello Ian, still getting automount[xxxxx]: add_host_addrs: hostname lookup failed: No address associated with hostname on all NIS clients. We don't see it on the NIS server at least. Should I enable debug in autofs?
