Hi all, Am upgrading/cleaning up our internal mail hub, old one was 4.8-STABLE, new one is 5.1-R (i know, i know, shouldn't run 5.x as production system yet, but man - it all went so well until the end!) So the problem is with AMD. Config is exactly the same as with 4.x, as is the nfs, netgroup, etc. stuff. host is an nis client. user logs in, homedir automounts fine. User pokes around, does random usery stuff, and at some point (and sometimes at no point), their home directory will no longer be mounted. ls ~ returns a prompt. I apologize for the length. Once the problem begins it Looks like this: matt@sargon2 ~ > ls matt@sargon2 ~ > df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/amrd0s1a 495726 56200 399868 12% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/amrd0s1g 57961096 1978014 51346196 4% /d1 /dev/amrd0s1e 253678 438 232946 0% /tmp /dev/amrd0s1f 7931438 2881836 4415088 39% /usr /dev/amrd0s1d 495726 28644 427424 6% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc klingon:/long 36859200 23600976 13258224 64% /long klingon:/short 18427200 14902028 3525172 81% /short klingon:/d0/people/matt 87932844 37384524 50548320 43% /tmp_mnt/klingon/d 0/people/matt matt@sargon2 ~ > ls matt@sargon2 ~ > pwd
