Hi Ian,

Sorry it's been such a long time but I thought I had gotten my issue down to
an issue with IBM Clearcase and their "mvfs" implementation.  But as it
happens, I believe there still to be issues with autofs in RedHat WS3 U3.  I
am currently using autofs-4.1.3-47.  I have been running many automounts on
the linux systems in debug mode for some time.  But here's what I have to
give you for now:

Feb 21 23:44:33 lserver-11 automount[15042]: rm_unwanted: /lsi/vp/bed_shared
Feb 21 23:44:33 lserver-11 automount[15042]: expired /lsi/vp/bed_shared
Feb 21 23:44:38 lserver-11 automount[1700]: attempting to mount entry
/lsi/vp/bed_shared
Feb 22 00:16:51 lserver-11 automount[19628]: BUG: /lsi/vp/bed_shared already
mounted

And this is the automount process:

/usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 --debug /lsi/vp yp auto_lsi_vp
rw,intr,,noatime

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jeff

Add --debug to your master map entries and send the log output.
