I'm guessing you are using the hosts map? You will get that until the mount tree under /net/appliance expires away so the exported entries can be updated. The exported entries can't be sanely updated while the mount tree under the server directory is being used since export list can be hierarchical and so can have order of mount/umount dependencies. > > kernel version: > 2.6.18-238.el5 > > > autofs version > autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.143.el5_5.6.x86_64 > Running RHEL 5.6 (Enterprise edition) > > > Autofs is in debugging mode but does not show up anything. > > > After I restart autofs many times I only see this message in syslog > (debugging enabled): > mount_multi_triggers: mount offset /net/appliancev/newvol at /net/appliance > failed to mount offset At this point autofs is probably completely confused as it tries to reconstruct the tree of mounts under /net/appliance. That message is usually a unpleasant sign that things are messed up. About the only thing that is worth doing is a postmortem analysis to see if there is anything that can be changed to make automount more tolerant.
