Yep, it is there!
# cat mounts
/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /boot ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /var ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdb3 /home ext2 rw 0 0
automount(pid442) /bri autofs rw 0 0
And like I mentioned there is not automount running. The pid listed is
the pid of the process that was hung in the first place. I forgot to
mention that I am running kernel 2.2.12 and autofs 3.1.3.
Now what? How do I get rid of that stale mount listing without
rebooting?
Thanks,
