Autofs5 runs out of open ports to mount with
Issue
- While stressing the server by simultaneous logging hundreds of users, autofs runs out of open ports to mount filesystems with and starts using reserved ports (which obviously doesn't work).
- Is there a way for autofs/rpc/NFS to widen it's port pool to allow for more mounts via autofs or are we stuck with whatever's available under 1024?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1
- NFS, Autofs
