grep ‘nfs’ /etc/mnttab | awk ‘{print $2}’ | grep ^${FS}
done
2. To determine whether each automounted directory returned by the grep command
is currently in use, enter the following command:
/usr/sbin/fuser -cu local_mount_point
This command lists the process IDs and user names of all the users who are using
the mounted directory.
3. Warn any users to exit the directory, and terminate any processes that are using
the directory, or wait until the processes terminate. To terminate all the processes
that are using the mounted directory, enter the following command:
/usr/sbin/fuser -ck local_mount_point
4. To stop AutoFS, enter the following command:
/sbin/init.d/autofs stop
IMPORTANT: Do not stop the automountd daemon with the kill command.
It does not unmount AutoFS mount-points before it terminates. Use the autofs
stop command instead.
5. To ensure that AutoFS is no longer active, enter the ps command:
/usr/bin/ps -ef | grep automount
If the ps command indicates that AutoFS is still active, ensure that all users have
exited the automounted directories and then try again. Do not restart AutoFS until
all the automount processes are terminated.
6. To start AutoFS, enter the following command:
/sbin/init.d/autofs start
Troubleshooting AutoFS
This section describes the tools and procedures for troubleshooting AutoFS.
AutoFS Logging
AutoFS logs messages through /usr/sbin/syslogd. By default, syslogd writes
messages to the file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. For more information on the
syslog daemon, see syslogd(1M).
To Start AutoFS Logging
To start AutoFS Logging, follow these steps:
1. Log in as superuser to the NFS client.
2. To find a list of all the automounted directories on the client, run the following
script:
