If you can think of any suspicious change that > I should test, please let me know. I don't think anything changed in autofs in that period. I'd be suspecting the r-o-bind-mounts patches, but they didn't change much in that time either. Does current mainline work OK? If so, pretty much the only thing in that area left unmerged is r-o-bind-mounts and hch's exportfs stuff. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
