Why does a manual umount of certain autofs mounts causes subsequent remounts to fail?
Issue
- After umounting an NFS file system that was mounted via autofs, it sometimes cannot be remounted via autofs.
- A manual mount of the affected mount point(s) works fine.
- Not all automounted NFS mount points are affected.
- Only seen on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8, works ok on RHEL 5.6 and 6.3.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.8 [x86_64]
- autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.164.el5_8
- kernel-2.6.18-308.4.1.el5
