I think the original diagnosis of an umount/mount race is only one possible way to hit the bug. We use very long timeouts and would never have hit that particular race. Since we see it with LDAP but not with a local map, I wonder if it is due to some slight additional delay caused by the LDAP lookup. >To this end I've built a RHEL4 kernel with all the patches that >"should" be included.

Ian, should I try your test kernel, or is it moot now, given what Jeff says? I can privately give you an FTP location if you would still like it tested.
