From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310 Description of problem: When rebooting, the automounter dies a horrible death with messages such as: umount2: Device or resource busy umount: automount(pid863): not found umount: /home: Illegal seek umount2: Invalid argument umount: automount(pid888): not found umount: /local: not mounted Similar messages appear for my other automount points. However, /var/log/messages contains messages that would make it seem like the automounter shut down cleanly, such as: autofs: automount -USR2 succeeded autofs: automount -TERM succeeded automount[888]: shutting down, path = /local Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot the computer 2. Watch the messages as services are shut down 3. When autofs is shut down, the above error messages are shown Actual Results: The error messages listed above are shown. Expected Results: autofs should have shut down cleanly. Additional info: Except for the unclean shutdown, the automounter seems to be working properly. It's mounting the automount points correctly.
This should be fixed in autofs-3.1.7-27, which is a bit nicer about shutting down the automount daemon (though you'll still get spewage if a directory can't be unmounted because it's busy).
