A NFS mounted filesystem appears to be umounted while still visible in /proc/mounts

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • NFS mounted filesystems seem to get unmounted within 10 min to 2 hours after boot without abovious reason
  • The filesystem is still shown in the output of the mount command
  • We do not see any errors in the logs
  • A directory listing on the mountpoint with ls shows the content of the local filesystem in stead of the NFS filesystem

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.2
  • autofs
  • NIS
