So if user space can't recover by doing a control-c (maybe even > a couple of times) then it's possibly not actually autofs. Well, when I tried to umount it manually (with options -f -l -i) stopped indefinitely when doing a readlink on the mount point itself and never returned from its own account. I was able to CTRL-C this one but not getting the mount point removed. A nasty side effect was that df never returned either. I did a bit more log reading and it seems that the node got a mount as well as a umount request yesterday evening and from the nodes perspective everything looked fine. In the end I guess this falls into the category of: Hopefully it won't happen again too soon ;) If you come up with an idea, please let me know. I'll stay on the list, reading quietly.
