Binary package hint: autofs5
In lucid, using autofs5 version 5.0.4-3.1ubuntu5, we are having trouble using failover with NFS. Autofs allows you to specify multiple hosts with weighting in its configuration files and will fall back to a secondary host if the first host is not available at mount time. However, currently on our systems, the mount fails completely. This functionality does work with our RHEL 5 hosts (which use autofs 5.0.1). Automounting from a single host does work, but when we supply multiple hosts, an strace shows that it's trying to connect to the IP address '0.0.0.0', port 0, rather than any of the hosts we specify.
I have attached the full strace output, our /etc/auto.master file, and the relevant file from /etc/autofs.d including the multiple hosts.
