lsof shows that automount has 10288 files open, of which most of these
are like:

automount 15539      root *217u     sock                0,4 595374 can't
identify protocol
automount 15539      root *218u     sock                0,4 595376 can't
identify protocol
automount 15539      root *219u     sock                0,4 595378 can't
identify protocol
automount 15539      root *220u     sock                0,4 595380 can't
identify protocol

Upon restarting autofs, these open files are cleared out and automount
works, but the open files gradually build up again.

After setting USE_MISC_DEVICE=no, I no longer get the open file issue,
but we are trying to remedy the autofs lazy unmount / cwd issue.

Mmm .. that's not good.
I'll have a look and see what I can see.

Sorry about the initial red herring, but it looks like I'm getting the increasing open files even with USE_MISC_DEVICE=no. I must have previously done a grep for autofs instead of automount.

In any case, after a restart of autofs:
[r...@talon ~]# /etc/init.d/autofs restart
Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]
[r...@talon ~]# lsof |grep automount | grep sock
automount 309 root 52u sock 0,4 3230868911 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 54u sock 0,4 3230868918 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 55u sock 0,4 3230868920 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 56u sock 0,4 3230868922 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 57u sock 0,4 3230868924 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 59u sock 0,4 3230868930 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 61u sock 0,4 3230868937 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 62u sock 0,4 3230868939 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 63u sock 0,4 3230868941 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 64u sock 0,4 3230868943 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 66u sock 0,4 3230868949 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 68u sock 0,4 3230868956 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 69u sock 0,4 3230868958 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 70u sock 0,4 3230868960 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 71u sock 0,4 3230868962 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 73u sock 0,4 3230868968 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 75u sock 0,4 3230868975 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 76u sock 0,4 3230868977 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 77u sock 0,4 3230868979 can't identify protocol automount 309 root 78u sock 0,4 3230868981 can't identify protocol
[r...@talon ~]#

This gradually increases with every new mount until automount has 10288 files open.
