Strangely, I've just started seeing a similar problem, perhaps related,
perhaps not.
As far as I can tell, I find that after a while, when automount tries to
mount a directory for me, I end up with _2_ automounters running on the
same mount point with both of them stuck. Killing the second one gets
things back to life.
ps auxl gives me:
40 0 848 1 1 0 944 532 do_pipe_rea S p0 0:00
automount /usr/site yp auto_site rw
140 0 916 848 1 0 1040 644 do_pipe_rea S p0 0:00
automount /usr/site yp auto_site rw
Killing PID 916 makes it all better.
The only things I've changed recently are upgrading to 2.3.10 (but
downgrading to 2.2.7 makes no difference) and adding
'rsize=1024,wsize=1024' to localoptions (to workaround a broken bridge).
I'm using autofs 3.1.3.
Any ideas?
