Mike,
I just recompiled my kernel with your xprt-sharing.patch.
Although this did fix the port error problems, it did not fix
the automounter problem. So I think your patch should be incorporated
into Redhat Enterprise 3 (2.4 kernel) because it appears to work.
I think the problem is that the automounter just cannot unmount
the /net/aflac directory, and ends up trying to remount it instead,
here are the log files after the port patch that Mike gave me:
(this is during the reboot after cd'ing to /net/aflac/vol/vol2)
Jan 12 19:23:36 codered automount[5396]: can't shutdown: filesystem /net still
busy
Jan 12 19:23:38 codered autofs: automount -USR2 succeeded
Jan 12 19:23:41 codered automount[5396]: can't shutdown: filesystem /net still
busy
... those lines keep repeating until ....
Jan 12 19:24:08 codered automount[16092]: >> mount table full
Jan 12 19:24:08 codered automount[16092]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure
aflac:/vol/vol3/cad_archive on /net/aflac/vol/vol3/cad_archive
Jan 12 19:24:08 codered automount[16092]: >> mount table full
Jan 12 19:24:08 codered automount[16092]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure
aflac:/vol/vol3/design on /net/aflac/vol/vol3/design
... those lines repeart for each subdirectory of the volumes ...
Jan 12 19:24:09 codered autofs: automount shutdown failed
As you can see, it keeps trying to unmount /net, and eventually
fills up the mount table because it instead remounts it. Before,
when the port issue was a problem, it wouldn't get far enough to
fill the mount table, but now it can (thanks Mike!)
