SUMMARY: automountd died unexpectedly

only a response from bertrand hutin
he says: try a truss -p <pid of automountd> to debug the problem

it is not suitable for me, so i send it to sun hotline, but now, i have 
no response.
A possible workaround i'm using is to force mount of /home/<login> and 
to stop automountd. So my users can login on the server now. And the 
directories are never unmounted.


my original post:
automountd died everyfive minutes now... isearch a workaround: 

can i put /usr/lib/autofs/automount in crontab to relaunch it? 

automountd is only necessary on this server or for other nfs clients? 

 

 

on a 250, solaris 8, i apply cluster of recommended patches of 
Jun/12/03. When i
+reboot 

this machine is nis master, all users accounts are automounted. Since 
last
+night, automountd died unexpectedly 

i try to restart it,buti can't do /etc/init.d/autofs stop because there 
is some
+file systems mounted, so i do only: 

scr-root%  /usr/lib/autofs/automountd 

and i see : 

Jun 24 09:09:02 scr autofs: automountd OK 

Jun 24 09:09:04 scr autofs: automountd not running, retrying 

Jun 24 09:09:04 scr autofs: automountd OK 

Jun 24 09:09:04 scr autofs: automountd not running, retrying
