Bug 154648 – sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.x - autofs mounts loop

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergey A. Sukiyazov 2006-11-10 02:02:13 UTC]

On mounts managed by autofs (fstype == 'autofs') or submount (fstype == 'subfs') accessing 
files below the mount point cause the mount point to be remounted after an unmount.HAL daemon
try check for the .created-by-hal file on mounts under autofs mount points, then autofs (or
submount) mount filesystem again - we have dead loop.

Patch (origin by John (J5) Palmieri <[e-mail]>, added support 'subfs') solves this 
problem.

Patch (origin by John (J5) Palmieri <[e-mail]>, added support 'subfs') solves this problem. In hal >= 0.5.8.x this problem alredy solved.

Keep list of autofs (subfs) filesystem so we do not check for the .created-by-hal file on mounts under autofs mount points

Don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just leave the checkboxes alone if you have no clue what are they used for. Also fix your browser refresh.

Any progress here? BTW. Does anybody knows why hal-0.5.8.1 is not in portage?

[Comment 6 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2007-01-30 12:22:15 UTC]

Remi already answered me, why new hal version is not in portage (in bug #160377).

pva: Quit being a ricer. hal 0.5.8.1 is broken. It's not going in the tree. You sound like a whiny user... not a dev..

On a related note, this will be in hal-0.5.7.1-r4

[Comment 8 realw98 2007-02-09 06:27:07 UTC]

sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r4 still has the same problem with autofs, although patch exists and applied successfully.

Sample configuration for using autofs and hal in gentoo

It is my configuration for use hal and autofs, to access removable media without calling mount command (tarball packed relative root directory). When
media inserted, hal create directory '/mnt/autfs/<media name>' and symlink 'auto' to path '/var/lib/autofs/hal/<device udi>'. When media removed, hal also remove directory '/mnt/autfs/<media name>'

You use KDE and konquerror as filemanager with treeview for directory structure?
If not, please send your configuration (hals *.fdi, autofs files and etc.)

At me (with sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r4) this problem does not occured. Try configuration from attachment #2 [details].
