I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT).

$ ypcat -k auto.master | sort | grep auto.mdkm1 /storage/mdkm1 auto.mdkm1 --timeout=600

$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/MDKM1/MDKM1-1 /mdkm1/1 ext3 defaults 1 2 . . . /dev/MDKM1/MDKM1-10 /mdkm1/10 ext3 defaults 1 2

$ cat /etc/auto.master | egrep -v "^#" /misc /etc/auto.misc /net -hosts +auto.master
# service autofs status automount (pid 3714) is running...
$ ls /storage/mdkm1/1 kmdev lost+found
$ ls /storage/mdkm1/10 <--- wait here forever [CTRL-C] to abort ls: /storage/mdkm1/10: Interrupted system call
*NOTE: Above command never completes and will hang the shell from multiple clients.
# mkdir -p /mnt/mdkm1/10 # mount -t nfs ###.###.179.254:/mdkm1/10 /mnt/mdkm1/10
$ ls /mnt/mdkm1/10 kmdev lost+found
# umount /mnt/mdkm1/10
NOTE: During mount/umount the NFS server logs show the requests for the automount of mdkm1/1 AND the manual mount of mdkm1/10. The server log never shows an attempt to mount mdkm1/10 in the 'stalled' automount attempt. For example...
Apr 27 13:14:50 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated mount request from ###.###.172.70:730 for /mdkm1/1 (/mdkm1/1)
Apr 27 13:15:24 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated unmount request from ###.###.172.70:771 for /mdkm1/1 (/mdkm1/1)
Apr 27 13:16:17 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated mount request from ###.###.172.70:785 for /mdkm1/10 (/mdkm1/10)
Apr 27 13:16:31 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated unmount request from ###.###.172.70:794 for /mdkm1/10 (/mdkm1/10)
I've restarted the Server NFS services, Client autofs services AND the systems as a whole multiple times to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Trevor Cooper
