Amd is much older than that, and so there's a lot of -information that's already available in other forms. If this FAQ doesn't -answer your questions, see information in the following sources: - -1. The Am-utils book: http://www.am-utils.org/docs/amd-book/ - -2. The Am-utils user manual, which is part of the distribution and is also - available from www.am-utils.org. - -3. The www.am-utils.org Web site resources, especially the "am-utils" mailing - list (and its archives). - -4. In the am-utils distribution (always use the latest ones), see all of the - various README files (README, README.autofs, README.ldap, README.osx, and - README.y2k). The "BUGS" file also lists useful information about bugs - and problems with specific OSs which affect Amd. All of these text files - are also available from www.am-utils.org. - -5. Some FAQ questions (including newbie questions) are available here: - http://www.kernelcorp.com/resources_faqs.html - -6. Some problems are known bugs but have not been fixed yet: this are - listed in bugzilla in https://bugzilla.am-utils.org/ - -If you have additions to this FAQ, please let us know at -am-utils@am-utils.org. - -Thank you, -The Am-utils development team. - -<FAQ> - -*** Linux Questions - -Q1. When I use Amd with Autofs and I restart Amd, how come it cannot remount - the Autofs partitions? - -A1. This is a limitation of the Linux Autofs kernel module (for both autofs - v2. and v3). The Linux Autofs does not allow restarting automounted - points. There's nothing Amd can do about this. In fact, the same - problem exists if you use the userland "automount" daemon instead of - Amd. Hopefully Autofs-v4 or the separate effort of Autofs-NG will - address this serious problem. - - Note that Amd itself can restart autofs automounted points just fine on - OSs that support it, for example Solaris. - - -Q2. When I use Amd, I get this console message frequently: "mount version - older than kernel." Is it a problem? - -A2. No, it's a harmless warning message that the Linux kernel prints for NFS - mounts. The intent was to alert administrators that the kernel has - supposedly a different version of the mount(2) code than a userland - program used. This happens if you compile Amd against kernel headers - that are different than the kernel you're running. If the message - really bothers you, then one way to "fix" the problem is to recompile - Amd against the same kernel headers as the running kernel. - - Nevertheless, it is a relatively useless message because as far as we - know, the NFS v2 and v3 mount codes have been in perfect sync between - the userland and kernel sides, and were "standardized" for years - already. This warning message caused more unnecessary worry among - administrators than helping alert them to legitimate problems. - -</FAQ> |
