Hi,
I am using autofs to mount home directories and /var/spool/mail
The side mounting the NFS partition will hang forever if I pull the
ethernet cable.
I am using the following:
/etc/auto.home :
* -fstype=nfs,rw,suid,soft,intr server:/home/&
/etc/auto/.mail
mial -fstype=nfs,rw,suid,soft,intr server:/var/spool/mail
This seems to be correct.
I am using OpenLDAP for authentication and have version 4.1.3-131 of
/usr/sbin/automount/
anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Gord

Gord,
This a know error of NFS. Even though soft should time out, it does not
always do that.
So it is not autofs, but NFS in general. So test your NFS share outside
autofs to check if a soft mount times out as desired.
Kind regards,

G McFadden,
I do not know of a workaround using NFS. Hard makes it even worse.
Kind regards,
