We have been running the am-utils automounter (amd) for many years. With an update to 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 it has stopped working. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250716 It's easy to reproduce this. I've done the on many types of systems, i686 and x86_64. Steps are: 1. yum install am-utils 2. edit /etc/amd.conf and add these lines on the end to create a 2nd mount point: [ /net2 ] map_name = amd.net map_type = file 3. Start the automounter: service amd start 4. Observe the output of amq: # amq / root "root" /net error . //nil// /net2 toplvl /etc/amd.net /net2 It should look like: # amq / root "root" /net toplvl /etc/amd.net /net /net2 toplvl /etc/amd.net2 /net2 -- Norman Gaywood, Systems Administrator University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngaywood@xxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 3337 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
