An update for autofs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The daemon automatically mounts file systems when in use and unmounts them when they are not busy.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Users of autofs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

Fixes

  • BZ - 1358887 - On Red Hat 7.x systems if you try to access local filesystems using the automounter through /net then the shell and mount could lock up *if* the filesystem your accessing is double exported.
  • BZ - 1581502 - PID file never created or disappears
  • BZ - 1598640 - Server availability probe broke tunneling nfs via localhost - [RHEL-7.6]
  • BZ - 1609128 - autofs reload is unable to activate new map entries, it is autofs restart which shows new map entries.
  • BZ - 1612914 - [autofs]Removed entries still can be accessed
