Description Matthias Hopf 2006-01-02 15:39:29 UTC 
/usr/sbin/automount --ghost <dir> <map> allows for listing all available automount entries. Right now /etc/init.d/autofs does not add this option, even if it is specified in auto.master. As it already does with --timeout.

As --ghost and --timeout are the only usefull user-specified options, both should be honored.

Adding --ghost processing for files and nis

This patch adds this functionality for files and nis. I have not addressed Nisplus and Ldap as I cannot test them at home, but the patch should look similiar.

Noone ever looked at this for two weeks now - raising severity.
Comment 4 Chris L Mason 2006-02-15 14:42:45 UTC 
I've been working on this indirectly.  Some L3 autofs bugs bubbled up because our /etc/init.d/autofs script did not properly filter out duplicates.  I basically stole the code for this from the RH script.  I'm attaching the new script I plan to use, do you see any problem with applying your --ghost stuff to it? (I'm happy to do the work, just asking for a review).

autofs start script

This is /etc/init.d/autofs.  It is based on sles9, so there are some minor mods required to bring it up to the 10.1 version.  Just attaching for reference/review in relation to the ghost option.

I have to check this at home.
Will update you as soon as I got it working :)
Comment 7 Matthias Hopf 2006-03-22 17:18:54 UTC 
This is definitively not critical any longer (with me being one of the delaying factors). Changed back to normal.
