Hi!
Yesterday I stopped and restarted autofs (yes, I know this was silly).
Now I find that automount refuses to start up on /home because (of
course) /home is already mounted (there are about a dozen users logged
in). But new users cannot log in because there is no automounter
running.
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: starting automounter version
3.1.3, path = /home, maptype = yp, mapname = auto_home
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: Map argc = 2
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: Map argv[0] = auto_home
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: Map argv[1] = rw
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: parse(sun): init gathered
options: rw
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: >> mount: automount(pid2810)
already mounted or /home busy
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: >> mount: according to mtab,
automount(pid3383) is already mounted on /home
May 26 12:19:47 shimeji automount[2810]: /home: mount failed!
What do I do, short of booting all the users off?
Thanks in advance!
Luke
