Patch-ID# 100249-06 Keywords: automount symbolic link timeout, jumbo Synopsis: SunOS 4.1;4.1.1;4.1.2,4.1.3: automounter jumbo patch Date: Jan/12/93 SunOS release: 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 Bug ID's fixed with this patch: 1038308, 1048875, 1044048, 1083225, 1106249 Changes incorporated in this version: 1048875 Patches which conflict with this patch: Architectures for which this patch is available: sun3, sun4, sun4c, sun4m Problem description: Bug 1038308: In 4.1, the automounter sets up a different symbolic link 5 min. after the first access. This happens if there are multiple locations for the same mount in the auto mount map entry, and those locations don't share the same subdir. Bug 1048875 The automounter forks due to rpc.rexd. This problem is usually seen when using the on command. The automounter will complain it cannot find /etc/mtab. Bug 1044048 Automounter consumes a steady, increasing percentage of memory. Coinciding with this is the consumption of swap space as well. Bug 1083225: If an entry is removed from /etc/mtab while the automounter daemon is reading it, it is possible for the automounter to get into a state where it will loop forever, printing "WARNING: /etc/mtab: line : bad entry" on the console and hang the server. Bug 1106249: Automount behaves strangely after inserts a 28th server to one mount point in /etc/auto.direct. The reason for this is automount only support up to 20 servers for 1 mount point on 4.x. This patch changes this limitation from 20 to 128. In Solaris 2.0, there will be no limitation on this.
