My problem, however, is that once my ldap server is back up, autofs never seems to retry to connect to it, so all my /home mounts fail. Basically, it means I have to make sure that my LDAP server is never down while another server is rebooting.
I figure there must be something in the configuration file that would allow me to tweak this to indicate to autofs to recheck the ldap server periodically to see if it has come back up, but can't seem to find anything.
Once the server is back up, does restarting the autofs daemon fix the behaviour?
Also, try setting the logging to debug.. Might give you a better idea of why it's not reconnecting.
Perhaps the following links from an autofs list thread will point to something for Eric: subject: "[autofs] ldap and reloading" http://linux.kernel.org/pipermail/autofs/2009-June/005775.html http://linux.kernel.org/pipermail/autofs/2009-June/005779.html
BTW the 'how to' debug Autofs is at: http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer/
Thanks for the links. Not exactly what I need, but maybe an alley to help me down the path. In the meantime, if anyone else has any suggestions what I can do, would love to hear about it.
Thanks,
Eric
