We have a setup where /opt is automounted over NFS. The actual automount point is /misc/opt and there is a symbolic link /opt->misc/opt. This is because the setup has been in use with the older versions of autofs supplied with RH9 and FC1, where it was difficult to put automount points directly under root. Now we have upgraded to FC3 and things continue to mostly work. However, the /opt->misc/opt has disappeared a few times on different machines. It seems like it just got removed automatically. The link is, of course, dangling if the NFS server or the automounter is down. Is there a process somewhere in FC3 that removes dangling symlinks automatically (i.e. symlinks -d being run from cron or during boot)? I haven't been able to find anything. This is by no means a frequent problem; it has happened maybe 4 times, and we have been running FC3 on ~45 machines for a month. On FC1 the /opt symlink did always stay put. Mikko
