RHBA-2011:1374 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
autofs bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated autofs package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
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 update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, when a mounted autofs entry was removed from the autofs direct map
and the map was reloaded before the map entry expired, the mount failed to
unmount. If such a file system was unmounted manually, the next time a process
tried to access this file system, the process became unresponsive. With this
update, conditions preventing this behavior have been included into the code.
The file system can now be accessed normally and the process no longer hangs.
(BZ#744698)
All users of autofs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
