We are having problems with the automount program. We are running SunOS
4.0.3 and the problem shows up something like this:
thorin% pwd
pwd: getwd: can't open ..
and:
thorin% df .
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
Could not find mount point for .
but you can still work in the directory and list it etc.
What seems to happen is that when someone goes into a auto-mounted
directory and works there for a while this just seems to happen after a
while. The way to recover from it is you can just change directories back
to where you were and continue working, but this is kind of a pain, and is
causing some of our applications to break.
I have not been able to reproduce this on a steady basis which makes it
real hard to trouble shoot. I have seen this happen on 3/80's, 4/60's,
4/280's.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know if there is a fix for
something like this?
