Error description
Using the IBM Rational ClearCase vob automount feature may not work correctly if automounted VOBs are manually unmounted using cleartool umount. If VOBs are manually unmounted, the VOBs will not remount when using view-extended access (example: ls /view/myview/vobs/automountvob/dir1). Re-attempting this access in a freshly "set" view (cleartool setview myview; ls /vobs/automountvob/dir1) may work to mount the VOB...
Local fix
Do not manually umount any VOB that was automounted using the OS automounter.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users of the VOB automounting feature of ClearCase on Linux * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * The problem may be seen on Linux systems which have the VOB * * automounting feature enabled. After a VOB has been * * successfully automounted at least one time, the same VOB may * * fail to mount again on a subsequent access through a * * view-extended pathname. The problem is typically seen when * * the automounted VOB is manually unmounted by a cleartool * * unmount command, rather than being unmounted by the * * automounter after a period of inactivity. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
This problem is fixed in ClearCase versions 9.0.1.12, 9.0.2.4, and 9.1.0.1.
