An update that has 5 recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This collective update for AutoFS provides fixes for the
following issues:
*
AutoFS might have scheduled a new periodic alarm
every time it receives a SIGHUP (reload) or a SIGUSR1
(force expire) signal. These alarms were never deleted and
increased the number of times the daemon woke up to run the
expiration procedure. (bnc#783651)
*
In some configurations, the automount daemon might
have failed to read new entries from the master map after
receiving a reload signal. (bnc#799873)
*
When a direct mount was broken up into multiple
sub-mounts and the daemon was reloaded to re-read the new
configuration, AutoFS might have kept a reference to the
old path and leaked one file descriptor. (bnc#772698)
*
In some configurations that use nested sub-mounts, a
busy volume might have prevented AutoFS from expiring other
mounts (bnc#801808)
*
In setups that use several direct mounts, a race
condition could have caused intermittent failures when
trying to access files in auto-mounted volumes. (bnc#777399)
