Recommended update for autofs
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for autofs
This collective update for AutoFS provides fixes for the
following issues:
* When many volumes are mounted and AutoFS is
restarted, the stop procedure might not wait long enough
for all volumes to be unmounted and return failure
prematurely. (bnc#802185)
* AutoFS might schedule a new periodic alarm every time
it receives a SIGHUP (reload) or a SIGUSR1 (force expire)
signal. These alarms are never deleted and increase the
number of times the daemon wakes up to run the expiration
procedure. (bnc#783651)
* In some configurations, the automount daemon might
fail to read new entries from the master map after
receiving a reload signal. (bnc#799873)
* When a direct mount is broken up into multiple
sub-mounts and the daemon is reloaded to re-read the new
configuration, AutoFS might keep a reference to the old
path and leak one file descriptor. (bnc#772698)
* In some configurations that use nested sub-mounts, a
busy volume might prevent AutoFS from expiring other
mounts. (bnc#801808)
* The automounter might terminate with a segmentation
fault when handling multiple mount requests in parallel,
because the non-reentrant function getprotobyname() has
been used in multi-threaded contexts. (bnc#787410,
bnc#814425)
