The init script greps proc/filesystems and if autofs is not loaded it will run modprobe -q autofs autofs4. This is a really bad thing to do since it will break if one only has autofs4 modules Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build kernel with only autofs4 as module 2. rmmod autofs4 3. /etc/init.d/autofs start Actual Results: The init scripts says that there is no autofs support which is wrong Expected Results: instead of calling grep -q autofs /proc/filesystems || modprobe -q autofs autofs4 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then it should do a grep -q autofs /proc/filesystems || modprobe -q autofs || modprobe -q autofs4 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then autofs 4.1.3-r2 philip@icefox philip $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 8 2005, 05:09:49)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://webmail.waug.at/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex X a52 aac aalib acpi acpi4linux alsa apm arts artworkextra avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo cairo cdr cdrom crypt cups curl doc dvb dvd dvdr emboss encode esd ethereal fam ffmpeg flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glade gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal libg++ libwww lm_sensors lzo lzw lzw-tiff mad matroska mikmod mjpeg mmx mmx2 motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpeg4 mplayer ncurses nethack network neural nls nntp nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl plotutils png povray python qt quicktime readline real samba screenshot sdl shared sharedmem slang sockets speedo spell sse sse2 ssl stencil-buffer svga tcpd tetex threads tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode videos vidix vim-with-x xanim xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xprint xrandr xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
The solution I added in the bug description is broken too, one should first modprobe autofs4 and only if this one fails modprobe autofs not the other way around
in cvs shortly.
