[Bug 1322682] Re: -D variables not honored

[Pavel Merdin]

The way I used to test it:

echo "/test /etc/auto.test" >/etc/auto.master
echo 'test1 ${MYPATH}' >/etc/auto.test
echo 'OPTIONS="-DMYPATH=:/tmp"' >/etc/defaults/autofs
service autofs restart
automount -l debug /test

in the logs you'll see:

Jul 16 00:13:00 xxxx automount[7338]: attempting to mount entry /test/test1
Jul 16 00:13:00 xxxx automount[7338]: dev_ioctl_send_fail: token = 7
Jul 16 00:13:00 xxxx automount[7338]: failed to mount /test/test1

Title:
  -D variables not honored

Status in “autofs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Within /etc/default/autofs I have:
  OPTIONS="-DOSREL=2.6"

  running ps I get:
  root      3474     1  0 09:16 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount -DOSREL=2.6

  
  My map looks like this:
  bin FILER:/vol/usrlocal/&/$ARCH/${OSNAME}$OSREL

  
  But automount won't use the OSREL:
  May 23 09:41:29 xco-ubuntu1404 automount[3474]: >> mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting FILER:/vol/usrlocal/bin/x86_64/Linux3.13.0-24-generic

  This setup works fine under RHEL4-7  and according to the
  documentation should work fine under ubuntu.
