pablo.roldan> Hi, I'm using autofs to automount the home dirs of my users,

Did you make sure that no clients had the file system mounted?  You simply
can't move things around like this and expect it to work.

pablo.roldan> ***** /etc/fstab: ***** # /etc/fstab: static file system
pablo.roldan> information.  # #<file sys> <mount point> <type> <options>
pablo.roldan> <dump> <pass> /dev/sda3 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 1
pablo.roldan> /dev/sda2 none swap rw 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none
pablo.roldan> /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults /dev/fd0 /floppy auto
pablo.roldan> users,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda6
pablo.roldan> /homes ext3 defaults 0 2 ***** end /etc/fstab *****

pablo.roldan> Since that moment, I am having problems accessing anything
pablo.roldan> below /home. For instance, I can't do

pablo.roldan>   ls /home

On the client system?  I'm surprised it hangs, but ESTALE would be very
likely.  Alt-Sysrq-t will show where the ls is hanging out.  However, this
really sounds like an administrative error.  Reboot the client.

The automounter logs to /var/log/messages.  You should check there for any
error messages if you feel this isn't purely a user error.
