autofs mounts unstable

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 22 November 2009 - 6:41pm
I have an IBM x335 Suse 10.2 system running autofs {autofs5-5.0.2-0.3} client (indirect) mounting ~400 Solaris systems mounts The Suse box runs scripts across the mounts to read data from them via cron jobs. I am seeing various problems - and somewhat intermittent? issues where the job fails and reports 'no such file or directory' for the mount point it's going to. I login to the Suse box, cd to the directory and it mounts fine. almost looks like a timing issue so I've tried some different options in auto.master for the mounts in question. Using the following options: --timeout=0 -ro,intr,soft ...this maybe helping, though I do get some occasional NFS Stale file handles occasionally, but I think this occurs in cases when /etc/dfs/dfstab|sharetab gets re-written on the system serving the mount point.

I'm not sure setting the timeout to 0 (don't umount) is such a good thing to do. Will I run into longer term performance problems, etc? I'm wondering if others have seen similar or if there is a bug in the version of autofs that I'm using, etc?

thanx

I need some help on how to get my computer online.
I can't seem to connect to my router. I have a wired connection, I've followed the instructions in the user guide, and the link it gave me no longer exsists.

I have a DLink 100/10 MBPS network card, it gave it a driver, but it didn't pick up anything from the network. Everything I've tried has failed.

My error log4net is set to debug, but the last thing it shows me is
"2009-11-22 13:16:47,219 [32537488] INFO Simias.Server.Authentication - Authenticated User iS : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:admin Success"
I'm guessing that's from when I log in.

Any ideas?
