Bug Description
Using autofs/automount to mount the NFS shares. Autofs forgets to update /net
with the new exports, As shown below, the showmount -e shows that
the client can fetch the new exportlist from the server but it fails to update
/net.
Server: atlas
Client: sloth
jk@sloth:~$ showmount -e atlas
Export list for atlas:
/z/x3i (everyone)
/z/atlas (everyone)
/z/x3i/vnmr1 (everyone)
jk@sloth:~$ ls /net/atlas/z/
edraid4 x3i
jk@sloth:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/autofs reload
Reloading automounter: checking for changes ...
Reloading automounter map: 6472
Starting automounter: /net.
jk@sloth:~$ ls /net/atlas/z/
edraid4 x3i
Steps to reproduce;
1) Export /share1 from server
2) mount on client using ls /net/server/share1
3) Export /share2 from server.
4) Reload autofs-daemon.
5) See that /net/server/ contains the old information and shomount -e server
gives the correct information.
