- Am-utils Frequently Asked Questions
-
-Note: we started this FAQ only on March 15, 2005; so it's not long or
-comprehensive, yet. 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.

-*** 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.
