Hello,
I have observed what looks like a race in automount (autofs). It happens when an access is reactivating a mount point that is in the process of beeing expiring.
Here are the logs in /var/log/messages :
Oct 31 02:14:51 pcodile automount[12272]: expired /alienor/usr.reuse Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[12272]: expired /alienor/usr.reuse.debug Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[693]: attempting to mount entry /alienor/home Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[12272]: expired /alienor/home Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[12277]: >> mount: mount point /alienor/home does not exist Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[12277]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure alienor:/home on /alienor/home Oct 31 02:14:52 pcodile automount[693]: attempting to mount entry /alienor/home
When that happens, all subsequent accesses to /alienor/home are blocked. If I ^C the first offending process, the remote partition can finally be mounted.
Kernel version 2.2.12-20 (coming from RH 6.1). Autofs : autofs-3.1.3-9.
