How can I determine what is using my autofs kernel module? I have
autofs as a module and I can not remove it because it says it is busy.
I do not have any automount processes running and no open mounts that
automount controls.
Somehow one of my mount points is in a strange state I can't find a way
to get it unstuck. I don't want to reboot if at all possible.
Here are some listings and error messages that might give some clues.
>From the logs when I try and start the stuck mount point.

/bri, maptype = program, mapname = /etc/auto.bri_program

The following return nothing.

Thanks for any pointers
