Re: autofs slow mounting
Hi Neil,
I noticed a similar behavior on OpenSuse 11.0. I think the problem is not caused by autofs. For me it looks like the mount itself causes the problem. If I manually mount a nfs share of our NetApp it takes about 25 seconds. Have you tried how long this takes on your setup ? The strange this is that I can mount our Solaris Server and other Linux NFS Servers without any problems.
For now I increased the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT in /etc/sysconfig/autofs. Default is 600 seconds so the problem happens very often.
In the past we had once a similar problem with very slow NFS mounts. It turned out that the NFS server had problems to reverse resolve the IPs to hostnames because of DNS server mess up.
I was not able to check any logs on our NetApp since our IT guy is busy ..
Sorry that I can't help you ...
Berni.
