automount dead but subsys locked
Issue
We get this message when checking the status for the autofs service:
automount dead but subsys locked
And when we try service autofs start the output is the following:
Starting automount: automount: program is already running.
We tried to the following without positive results:
1. rm -rf /var/lock/subsys/autofs
2. service autofs restart
