Here is some more info, problem is /home/lchen, which was mounted yesterday, and doesn't seem to be unmounting. mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) automount(pid3115) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=3115,minproto=2,maxproto=4) automount(pid3148) on /user type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=3148,minproto=2,maxproto=4) automount(pid3192) on /home type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=3192,minproto=2,maxproto=4) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) /disk1/nbecker on /home/nbecker type none (rw,bind) /dev/hda3 on /media/idedisk1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) exdata1:/disk3/users/lchen on /user/lchen type nfs (rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,hard,intr,addr=139.85.77.100) /user/lchen on /home/lchen type none (rw,bind) /dev/hdb2 on /media/idedisk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=nbecker) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.3-17 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. user logs in, home dir is automounted 2. user logs out, home dir is never unmounted 3.

Me too - here is my post to Fedora-Test about it, I was just making a Bugzilla myself.... Just noticed on two machines tracking the Development branch, that autofs seems to be ignoring --timeout.  Eg: /etc/auto.master: /misc  /etc/auto.misc --timeout=2 /etc/auto.misc: usbautocam -fstype=vfat,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,uid=99,gid=99,umask=000 :/dev/sda1 mount shows autofs running: ... automount(pid6032) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=6032,minproto=2,maxproto=4) On device insertion, it is automounted: ... automount(pid6032) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=6032,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /dev/sda1 on /misc/usbautocam type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,uid=99,gid=99,umask=000) However.... [root@fastcat ~]# lsof -n | grep /misc automount 6032    root   4r    DIR    0,18     0    18246 /misc Okay so nothing is touching the mountpoint /misc/usbautocam.  Wait several seconds and do another mount command to see what is what.... ... automount(pid6032) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=6032,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /dev/sda1 on /misc/usbautocam type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,uid=99,gid=99,umask=000) Previously the mountpoint would disappear after a couple of seconds, now it is immortal. [root@fastcat ~]# rpm -q autofs autofs-4.1.3-22 Unmounting by hand works okay, and will allow reinsertion of the device, which is then automounted again.  But never auto-unmounted.
Can I offer any assistance with testing this serious problem? Has it been duplicated? Is the problem in autofs, or hotplug, or the kernel...???
The problem is in autofs. Downgrading to autofs-4.1.2-2 from FC2 immediately and completely fixed the problem.
This bug should be fixed in the latest development autofs package (autofs-4.1.3-28.i386.rpm) you should be able to download it from here http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/autofs-4.1.3-28.i386.rpm
Confirmed! Fixed in autofs-4.1.3-28.
