[Bug 40189] Re: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares

[Sorin Sbârnea]

I just want to add that I got the same bug on 11.10 and that the
rc.local trick doesn't seem to work but if I run `reload autofs` once as
a local user, it will start to work instantly!

Title:
  autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares

Status in “autofs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using autofs to access shares on a Windows XP machine from a
  Kubuntu AMD64 machine.  The problems applies in both Breezy and
  Dapper.

  EDIT:  confirmed with similar configuration on Intrepid with a NetApp
  filer hosting NFS.  Server OS removed from summary.

  When I first try to access the mount point via cd or in Konqueror it
  does not exist.  However,  if I then restart autofs
  (/etc/init.d/autofs restart) everythin then works OK.  My config files
  are:

  auto.master

  # $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $
  #
  # Sample auto.master file
  # This is an automounter map and it has the following format
  # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
  # For details of the format look at autofs(5).
  #/misc	/etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
  #/misc	/etc/auto.misc
  #/net	/etc/auto.net

  /petunia /etc/petunia.misc --timeout=60

  cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
