Autofs can not remove mount points
Issue
Automounter is not able to remove mount points when the path between the mount point and the path into the filesystem is in use. This becomes an issue when the service is stopped. When this circumstances accures, automounter will unmount the remote filesystem, but it will leave the directory structure into the mountpoint untached. If we try to remove the directory structure, We will get message "device is busy".
