autofs on RHEL update 8 cause NIS automount maps fail *No mount point found"

Asked by wesly_chen in Linux, Linux Administration, Red Hat Linux

Dear Experts,

    My Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 3.0 Update 7 upgraded to Update 8, then my autofs failed.
It seems to me that the vsion of autofs on update 8. autofs-4.1.3-186, cause the problem.
So all my NIS automount maps fail.

   When I start the autofs (# service autofs restart), it shows "Not mount point found" even though there are a lot of mount points defined in NIS. Unless I put those mount points into /etc/auto_<map files>.

   Temporarily work around is roll back the autofs to autofs-4.1.3-168 which comes with Update 7.

   Here are some information:
1. (P.S. I tried to use the default /etc/sysconfig/autofs with no LOCAL_OPTONS and DAEMONOPTIONS with no luck)
$ grep -v ^# /etc/sysconfig/autofs
LOCALOPTIONS="hard,tcp,nfsvers=3,bg,intr,noatime,async,retry=3,timeo=30,retrans=2,rsize=32768,wsize=32768"
DAEMONOPTIONS="--timeout=60 -DARCH=`uname -s`_`uname -m`"
LDAPAUTOMASTER=""
UNDERSCORETODOT=1
DISABLE_DIRECT=1
ONE_AUTO_MASTER=0
GHOSTDIRS=""

2.
$ grep -v ^# /etc/auto.master
+auto_master

3.
$ ypcat -k auto_master
/user auto_home

$ ypcat -k auto_home
*  <NFS server name>:/vol/fvol1/users/&

4.
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 8)

   I checked the RedHat release note and can not found anything to resolve the issue I have. I might miss some configuration and hope the experts here can help me out.

Thanks a lot.Start Free Trial
