Bug 742846

Thanks for the bug report. I just committed a fix that should resolve this problem. The updated package will be available soon in the filesystems project.

The package is now available in the repository. Please, could you test and report if it resolves the problem? Thanks.

It got better, but it still does not work.

# grep " /net " /proc/mounts 
-hosts /net autofs rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=20765,timeout=600,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0

/net appears now in /proc/mount, but apparently the hostname cannot be resolved. In /var/log/messages i found this two lines:

Jan 24 11:42:21 guille automount[20765]: lookup_mount: exports lookup failed for c3m
Jan 24 11:42:21 guille automount[20765]: key "c3m" not found in map source(s).

I will enable the "debug" option in /etc/sysconfig/autofs and post the output from /var/log/messages in the next comment.

The output from /var/log/messages after setting DEFAULT_LOGGING="debug" in /etc/sysconfig/autofs and restarting autofs.
Trying to access /net/c3m gives the following output.
The same has been working for years and still works with autofs-5.0.6-67.1.x86_64 .

Indeed, I can reproduce the issue here.

The problem seems to be caused by the linker option "--as-needed". It insists in marking libtirpc as not needed in the automount binary. I'm just guessing here, but maybe this is because glibc provides the same symbols as libtirpc, so the latter always appears as not used.

As we're compiling with --with-libtirpc, all the headers are taken from libtirpc. IIUC, in the end, we're using libtirpc's headers and glibc's functions. If I disable "--as-needed", everything works as expected and the link against libtirpc is kept in the automount binary.

Dirk, do you know if it's possible to fix the build and keep "--as-needed" in cases like this or should I just keep it disabled?

Richard, I've disabled "--as-needed" temporarily in the filesystems repository, just to bring it back to a working state. The fixed package should appear there in the next couple of hours.

autofs-5.0.6-73.1.x86_64 is working now fine on 11.4 and 12.1 .

Thanks, autofs is working again for me now.

Is this the info you were waiting for?
Shall I close the bug as RESOLVED?

Thanks for testing, Richard.

I'll keep the bug open until I have time to investigate the "--as-needed" issue further.
