Hi List, I have strange error (RHEL-4, autofs 4.1.3-234). Using automounter to mount home directories for users. After a while, /home got unusable and I see the following:
root 17345 20453 0 10:33 ? 00:00:00 [automount] <defunct> root 17348 20453 0 10:33 ? 00:00:00 [automount] <defunct> root 20453 1 0 Aug05 ? 00:00:15 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 --debug /home yp auto.home -rw I can not kill any of the processes listed (tried even kill -9). The last I can see in /var/log/messages is the following: Aug 11 10:32:39 login01 automount[17100]: expired /home/login Aug 11 10:33:01 login01 automount[20453]: attempting to mount entry /home/login Aug 11 10:33:01 login01 automount[17185]: mount(nfs): mounted belfast:/vol/users/users/login on /home/login Aug 11 10:33:09 login01 automount[17346]: expired /home/localmgr Aug 11 10:33:09 login01 automount[17348]: expired /home/support Maybe, the processes 17346 and 17348 failed to unmount /home/support and /home/localmgr. This perhaps caused even the parent process 20453 to hang. Has anyone seen anything similar? Is there any solution to this?
