Hi, I have a number of FC6 workstations that intermittently have a problem with automount, where it simply stops mounting filesystems. If you attempt to access a directory which automount would normally mount your command simply hangs. The automount process is running and still writes logs from the "verbose" option, but the logs don't indicate any problem. The logs just show the "mount still busy" messages from previously mounted filesystem(s). On the NFS server I don't see any mount requests from the afflicted client.
To "fix" the problem, I simply restart automount via "service autofs restart" and everything works as expected. We have been seeing this problem intermittently throughout our use of FC6. I don't have any clue what makes it happen. Any info on how I can prevent this or gather more debug info is welcomed! Details: automounter version 5.0.1-0.rc3.26 on Fedora 6 kernel: 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 i686 started as: "automount --timeout=60 --verbose" reading mounts from a NIS map from CentOS NIS server(s) Thanks, Jimmy Dorff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
