Bug 24724 – init.d/autofs ignores timeout option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carsten Krebs 2003-07-18 04:03:39 UTC]

When I try to specify the timeout option for a specific mount map, it will be
ignored by the script /etc/init.d/autofs.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I specify the timeout for the autmount daemon in the file
/etc/autofs/auto.master using a line like this:
/mount/nfs/automount            /etc/autofs/auto.nfs    --timeout=1800

and execute /etc/init.d/autofs start



Actual Results:  
the timeout will be ignored, although the file /tmp/debug look like this:

STARTUPOPTIONS --timeout 1800
DIR /mount/nfs/automount
MAPTYPE file
MAP /etc/autofs/auto.nfs
MAPOPTIONS
LOCALOPTIONS



I'm using autofs-3.1.7-r5

I think line 126 of the script /etc/init.d/autofs has to be

echo "$DAEMON $startupoptions $dir $maptype $map $mapoptions $localoptions" |
sed -e 's/        / /g' -e 's/  / /g'

This autofs script is horrible, will fix it in the next couple of hours and commit to portage

chickened out, but I did the following:

26 Jul 2003; Stefan Jones <[e-mail]> files/autofs.rc8
  files/autofs.confd:
  Fixed the --timeout options, can be specified in daemonoptions in
  autofs.confd or via the last option in the misc.master file.

Thanks Cretin, if you want to clean up the mess please go ahead, I'd greatly appreciate it.
