While upgrading some hosts from Centos 7 to Rocky 8, autofs appears to be unable to remount mounts after they expire (using the same autofs config files). Mount config: auto.master: /mounts/programs/prog\_m /etc/auto.programs\_prog\_m tcp hard intr timeo=600 retrans=2 async --ghost auto.programs\_prog\_m: production -fstype=nfs4 /incoming fileserver:/ifs/incoming/aibs/prog\_m /omf fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/omf /oscope fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/oscope /learn fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/learn /dynamic fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/dynamic /info fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/info /var fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/var /task fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/task /psy fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/psy /u01 fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/u01 /vip fileserver:/ifs/programs/prog\_m/production/vip While things work: pwd; ls /mount/programs/prog\_m/production dynamic incoming info learn omf oscope task psy u01 var vip Break: Same path, different contents: pwd; ls /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production info omf Turning on logging at debug on autofs and I can see the mounts expiring: May 30 11:06:12 automount[46872]: expire\_proc\_indirect: expire /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production … May 30 11:06:15 automount[46872]: st\_expire: state 1 path /mounts/programs/prog\_m … May 30 11:06:16 automount[46872]: expire\_proc\_indirect: expire /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production May 30 11:06:16 automount[46872]: expire\_proc\_indirect: 2 remaining in /mounts/programs/prog\_m May 30 11:06:16 automount[46872]: expire\_cleanup: got thid 140227066693376 path /mounts/programs/prog\_m stat 2 May 30 11:06:16 automount[46872]: expire\_cleanup: sigchld: exp 140227066693376 finished, switching from 2 to 1 May 30 11:06:16 automount[46872]: st\_ready: st\_ready(): state = 2 path /mounts/programs/prog\_m … May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: expiring path /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: umount\_multi: path /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production incl 1 May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_umount\_offset: umount offset /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/dynamic May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: umounted offset mount /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/dynamic May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_umount\_offset: umount offset /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/incoming May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: umounted offset mount /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/incoming May 30 11:06:21 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_umount\_offset: umount offset /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/info … May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/dynamic May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/info May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/incoming May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/learn May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/oscope May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/psy May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/task May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/omf May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/var May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/vip May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: tree\_mapent\_delete\_offset\_tree: deleting offset key /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production/u01 May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: expired /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production … May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: expire\_proc\_indirect: expire /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: expire\_proc\_indirect: 1 remaining in /mounts/programs/prog\_m May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: expire\_cleanup: got thid 140227066693376 path /mounts/programs/prog\_m stat 2 May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: expire\_cleanup: sigchld: exp 140227066693376 finished, switching from 2 to 1 May 30 11:06:22 automount[46872]: st\_ready: st\_ready(): state = 2 path /mounts/programs/prog\_m Later I see a “handle\_packet\_missing\_indirect: token 13149, name prog\_m” error as well On trying to access the shares within /mounts/programs/prog\_m/production, I get a wedged `ls` on the 1-2 shares that remain (in the break note above: “info omf” both break). I can `ls` on the directories that should be in there, and I get a “No such file or directory” Restarting autofs brings everything back again, but fails soon after. This almost feels like a nested mount issue, but why has this worked historically? Anyone else see this / able to point me in a direction? Many thanks! ---
