Yep, sorry for the noise, I didn't realize I was using an older version. After rebuilding 0.8.7 for EL5, it mostly works, but I have noticed on bug so far. In my configs, I have a mock repo defined using file:///some/path which is an NFS mounted directory (handled by automount). Now, if that is not currently mounted and I run mock, then yum in mock gives an error that the repodata isn't found for that repo. At that point I can run the 'mount' command, see that automount has mounted the directory, and then if I re-run mock it will complete the setup/build successfully.
This is because mock now clone()'s itself and creates a new namespace before exe()-ing the mock.py code. Your automounter is not sharing the new namespace that mock creates. You can fix this by running:
# mount --make-rshared /
You can put it in your /etc/rc.local.
I was not able to find out the syntax to put this into /etc/fstab, which is where I think it goes.
The problem I'm seeing is that a mock instance runs, it accesses file:///data/sw1/... which is automounted for that process, but then I cannot access /data/sw1 for any other process until the first mock quits. mount --make-rshared / doesn't seem to help.
