I am using autofs 5.0.4 with the latest patches up to 12-Jun-2009 with the 2.6.29.1 kernel.

I noticed that after a while (overnight) new automounts would no longer work.

An strace shows:
rt_sigtimedwait(~[CHLD CONT RTMIN RT_1],

[pid 26289] 11:22:57 gettimeofday({1246558977, 61322}, NULL) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:57 futex(0x7f6f5db43160, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:57 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1246558977, 61421426}) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:57 futex(0x7f6f5db43124, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 150501, {0, 
999900574}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
[pid 26289] 11:22:58 gettimeofday({1246558978, 61986}, NULL) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:58 futex(0x7f6f5db43160, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:58 clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1246558978, 62086850}) = 0
[pid 26289] 11:22:58 futex(0x7f6f5db43124, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 150503, {0, 
999899150}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)

lsof shows that automount has 10288 files open, of which most of these are like:

automount 15539 root *217u sock 0,4 595374 can't identify protocol automount 15539 root *218u sock 0,4 595376 can't identify protocol automount 15539 root *219u sock 0,4 595378 can't identify protocol automount 15539 root *220u sock 0,4 595380 can't identify protocol

Upon restarting autofs, these open files are cleared out and automount works, but the open files gradually build up again.

After setting USE_MISC_DEVICE=no, I no longer get the open file issue, but we are trying to remedy the autofs lazy unmount / cwd issue.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
