Autofs ignores mounts following a non existent map file in auto.master in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Issue
- In case a map included in auto.master doesn't exist, all subsequent mounts following that map will be ignored.
- Consider the following snippet in /etc/auto.master where /etc/auto.master1 doesn't exist.
/home /etc/auto.home
+/etc/auto.master1
/misc /etc/auto.misc
In this case, the autofs mount /home is loaded but /misc is ignored.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Autofs: 5.0.1-0.rc2.88
