From bcdc5e019d9f525a9f181a7de642d3a9c27c7610 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the mount point directory exists). While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any longer. I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4 module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it. So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.
