By experimenting a bit, I found that a timeout value in /etc/auto.master
of 2 causes this problem on first mount. My timeout was set to 5, but
reasonably heavy fs activity was occuring at the time (the kernel
compile).
/mnt/dos had been mounted before, by rc5des (I keep these on my dos
drive so that they can be flushed when I connect through '95), looking
at the logs, however:
Mar 27 17:01:04 onion automount[249]: starting automounter version

Mar 27 17:01:18 onion automount[365]: expired /mnt/dos
[diald starts after rc5des]
then, a bit later:
Mar 27 17:33:07 onion automount[249]: attempting to mount entry /mnt/dos
Mar 27 17:33:14 onion automount[2259]: expired /mnt/dos
Mar 27 17:33:14 onion automount[249]: attempting to mount entry /mnt/dos
Mar 27 17:33:15 onion automount[2260]: >> mount: /dev/hda1 already
mounted or /mnt/dos busy
Then the fireworks
Noting the time of expiry and attempted remount are the same [BTW I
can't remember why /mnt/dos was mounted the first time - I don't
remember doing it, but that was yesterday :)], and that the oops
happened in autofs_delete_usage, is there some kind of race condition?
Thanks,
Bradley
