So following efball's recommendation, I installed the patched 2.6.18 vanilla kernel and converted the VPS machines from autofs to amd. Low and behold this WORKS! Awesome but the solution is less than optimal and I really still need to get autofs working.

Why?

1) This workaround uses a plain 2.6.18 kernel and not the centos5 2.6.18 kernel. Centos and RHEL offer, in theory, a more regressed and stable kernel platform which receives timely patches via yum, etc.


2) The NIS servers I bind to offer autofs formatted maps which are incompatible with amd's format. I found the following Perl script which mostly converts the two formats but this isn't an automatic process, the script needs some minor tweaks to create 100% clean AMD maps, etc.

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc/br owse_thread/thread/83b4855b95148f8/d0414ce35e72e474?hl=en&am p;lnk=st&q=convert+autofs+nis+maps+to+amd#d0414ce35e72e4 74


My biggest issue with this autofs -> amd approach is that I'll need to put this Perl script into a crontab to get updates for new/deleted users, changed filers, etc. I'll also have to automate the updating of the /etc/amd.conf file whenever any automounter maps are changed (new maps, deleted, etc). All of these items are automatic with autofs and it's auto.master file.


As a test to keep things moving with getting the Autofs problem identified and hopefully fixed, I again tried to use the patched Centos5 kernel with this known working AMD setup but the VPS fails with different errors than before:
