Shlomo,
Can you please tell us a bit more on your configuration?
1. How do you usually mount your partitions? during boot through /etc/fstab?
another approach?
2. What device files are the problematic and what are their corresponding
mount points?
3. Though you said there's nothing in your logs, can you please attach the
full /var/log/messages file. (Preferably {g,b}zipped to reduce size). Please
also state the time area which the problem occurs at.
4. Do you have autofs or supermount enabled? send us the output of 'ps -ef |
grep -i mount'
5. output of 'uname -a'.
- Noam

At what "appears" to be random intervals (sometimes twice in a short time

sometimes several days apart) many of my partitions "disappear". When I
check, I see that they are not mounted. Running mount -a gets everything
back
to normal.
Here are a few things I've noticed:
- partitions in use (like /var /etc /home /usr) are not affected
- the partitions that "disappear" are on all 3 physical discs on the
machine
- I don't see anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
I usually notice the problem in one of two ways:
- I try to read a file on one of the missing partitions OR
- I have a cron job that runs every 2 minutes and the script
sometimes "disappears" so I get output from CRON telling me about the
problem.
It's almost as if there's some daemon looking for inactive partitions and
uounting them, but I've never heard of such a process.
