It seems like autofs 5 is unmasked, but not supported by even the latest kernel. Is that right?
If so, why bother unmasking it?

autofs5 is supported by kernel under the name autofs4 .
and /dev/autofs will trigger a reiserfs3 bug, and won't timeout reiserfs3 mounts. |

I enabled autofs4 and autofs said the kernel did not support protocol version 5. I couldn't find anything to enable protocol version 5.

This works for me with a 2.6.26 kernel.
| Code: |
jmd0 ~ # equery list autofs
[ Searching for package 'autofs' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ~] net-fs/autofs-5.0.4-r2 (0)
|
| Code: |
jmd0 ~ # zgrep AUTOFS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=m
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m |
| Code: | jmd0 ~ # lsmod | grep auto
autofs4 25160 2
|
| Code: |
jmd0 ~ # uname -a
Linux jmd0.comcast.net 2.6.26.8-openvz-ext4-tickless-00008-ga65ea96-dirty #28 SMP Sat Feb 7 17:35:53 EST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Thanks John,
I compiled both of them into the kernel, not as modules. That shouldn't make a difference, right?

I do not know. I have only used them as modules. And only for the last 4 months with 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernels.

I justed want to add my two cents as I have also had this issue. I recompile my kernel , gentoo-sources version 2.7.27-gentoo-r8 with these options.
| Code: |
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS =n
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=y
|
Upon rebooting with this new kernel configuration, autofs and automount worked fine. |
