This problem has continued over the past few months. We slogged through the strace output a few times and just today found this:
[pid 935] sendto(11, "<27>Sep 22 13:06:30 automount[92"..., 90, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) [pid 935] close(11) = 0 [pid 935] socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 4 [pid 935] connect(4, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/dev/log"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) [pid 935] close(4) = 0 [pid 935] ioctl(3, 0xc0189379, 0x7f22fecabb20) = 0 [pid 935] ioctl(3, 0xc0189375, 0x7f22fecabb20) = 0 [pid 935] sched_yield() = 0 [pid 935] umount("/home", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy) [pid 935] nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 [pid 935] umount("/home", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy) [pid 935] nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 Our syslog sends some events to another loghost and the top call to sendto(), which appears to fail, and automount tries to go down gracefully. Checking the .crash file again, the backtrace is identical. The backtrace does seem to support this story since there is a call to vsyslog() inside of log_error(). So this bug may be filed under the wrong package, depending on whose responsibility it is to handle this kind of error. Reading the man page for vsyslog(), I don't see any way the caller can catch an error so this could in fact be a problem with it.
