An updated autofs package that fixes a bug with the reloading of autofs
maps is now available.
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The
automount daemon automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and
unmounts them when they are not busy.
This updated autofs package fixes a bug where reloading autofs maps, by
sending a HUP signal to the daemon or using "service autofs reload",
incorrectly removes all direct mount map entries from the internal map
entry cache. This causes the direct mount map entries to no longer function
until autofs
is restarted. With this fix, autofs no longer removes all direct mount map
entries from the internal map entry cache.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated autofs package, which resolves
this issue.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
