Between rc8-mm2 and 2.6.23-mm1, autofs stopped working in the -mm kernel. Instead of mounting my home directory, I get these messages in /var/log/messages: Oct 20 00:38:52 kenny automount[2293]: cache_readlock: mapent cache rwlock lock failed Oct 20 00:38:52 kenny automount[2293]: unexpected pthreads error: 11 at 65 in cache.c I am not sure if this is due to autofs changes or changes in some other code that was merged. If you can think of any suspicious change that I should test, please let me know. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
