Since your suggestion for changing /etc/auto.master referenced
#+auto.master I assumed you were suggesting the change for a NFS client.
Trying to solve the issue this way doesn't seem to work.
On the NFS Server (also a NIS bound NFS client) I made the suggested
changes and reloaded the automount maps.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the directory tree on of the exported filesystem(s) LOCAL to the
NFS server...
$ tree -L 3 /mdkm1
/mdkm1
|-- 1
| |-- kmdev
| | `-- projects
| `-- lost+found [error opening dir]
.
.
.
|-- 10
| |-- kmdev
| | `-- projects
| `-- lost+found [error opening dir]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the same command looking at the NFS automounted directories...
[tcooper-local at rilkm01 ~]$ tree -L 3 /storage/mdkm1
/storage/mdkm1
|-- 1
| |-- kmdev
| | `-- projects
| `-- lost+found [error opening dir]
.
.
.
|-- 10 [error opening dir]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still NO access to /storage/mdkm1/10 from a client and in THIS example
the client IS the NFS server talking to itself.
The filesystem is ext3 on an VG/LV from a RAID5 storage enclosure. The
filesystem has been umounted, fsck'd and remounted. ALL other VG/LV's
from the same enclosure (ie. /mdkm[1-9]) are fine.
Still scratching the head on this one...
