This is a RH 6.0 system with all the updates applied. Linux automount
version 3.1.3, kernel version 2.2.13 self-compiled with pc speaker
support added. And sometime I run VMware, but keep reading, I think
it's unrelated.
I use autofs with three mountpoints: opne of it is /mov, for a mobile
IDE HDD. The relavant entries are:
/etc/auto.master:
/mov /etc/auto.mov --timeout 600
/etc/auto.mov:
win -fstype=vfat,user,uid=333 :/dev/hdb1
lin -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdb2
Sometime, the startup of automount fails with error "/mov busy or
already mounted". In this situation:
# ls -li /

# rmdir /mov
rmdir: /mov: No such file or directory
# mkdir /mov
mkdir: cannot make directory `/mov': File exists
(Note: the other autofs mountpoints are /rem and /net). Now, fuser
give no user of the /mov directory, and switching to single user and
umounting all but / doesn't change the situation. Nor reboot. I have
to force a fsck on the root partition (that, BTW, goes away without
errors nor warnings) and then the autofs works again.
What kinf of information should I recollect when it will happen again?
To help track down this?
