   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)
